HK119 (album)

HK119 is the debut, eponymous solo album from Finnish multimedia artist and singer-songwriter Heidi Kilpeläinen, performing under her alter ego HK119. The album was released through One Little Indian Records on 20 February 2006 in the United Kingdom.

The album was a collection of Kilpeläinen's home-made 8-track (multitrack) digital recordings, she composed especially for her MA degree course in Fine Art from 2003–2004, which she combined with individual home-made music videos for nearly every track on the album. (Each video's 'character' was portrayed with a unique costume, which collectively formed the "character" of HK119)

It was these videos that initially caught the attention of Icelandic singer Björk, who then featured HK119 in a Q Magazine article, citing her as her favourite artist of new 2004, and ultimately leading HK119 being signed to One Little Indian Records.

The album cover was shot by established fashion photographer Rachel Warner, while the rest of the artwork for the album (and single releases) featured screencaps from the albums relative videos.
