Born in North Hollywood and the product of, what some would call “a broken home.” He was raised in a loving extended family who supported him and yet he knew at a very young age that he must strike out on his own. While overcoming many trials and tribulations, he learned to reflect upon things and trust the music in his head to help him create and grow. He is a talented and passionate singer, songwriter and musician. His lifelong ambition is to share his music with everyone. You are sure to enjoy the versatility of his music and the distinctive sound of his voice. I think you will find his soulful, bluesy vocal style is unique and sexy. “People love the music when they can see themselves in the songs. I’m just tryin’ to pass it on, the love you know,” says Val with a grin. “For instance, ‘Read’ is a song that deals with emotions, confusion and clarity. ‘Takin’ My Time’ is my life & times.” Many may relate to the common thread that pulls on all our heartstrings like life and death or love and loss. Any kind of communication is relatively good as long as the message leads to a little understanding.
