Sven Helbig (born in 1968) is a German composer, director and music producer known for his genre-crossing works that blend classical music with electronic and contemporary elements. His compositions have been performed by renowned ensembles and orchestras around the world, including the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the BBC Singers, the Fauré Quartet, the London Contemporary Orchestra, and many others.

Helbig's versatility has made him a much sought-after collaborator for crossover projects; he has worked as a producer, composer and arranger with Rammstein, Pet Shop Boys, Snoop Dogg, cellist Jan Vogler, opera singer René Pape, pianist Olga Scheps and more. Helbig's work builds on the tradition of the Gesamtkunstwerk (all-embracing art form) and he often takes responsibility for concept, music and production at the same time.
