Parle-nous de toi, qui es-tu et d'où viens-tu ?

I am a born and raised Texan, who has lived in many parts of the USA, but I currently work and live in New Orleans, LA. I have spent my life in either the arts or medicine, and my credits are mainly in the music and film industry for the last 30+ years.

Comment est née ta passion pour la musique ? Qui sont tes idoles ?

That is an easy one. God’s gift first of all, but my mother was a concert pianist and violinist, and my grandmother was a noted poet who literally taught me to write. It is in my blood. As for my idols; every artist, co-writer, inspiring talent, and creative minds that crossed my heart and soul….too many to list.

Quel genre de musique fais-tu ?

I have been blessed to create songs with some amazing artists over the years, and my catalog of music is a melting pot. To be honest, I am the lyricist and melody, but I have co-writers for the studio. I love the creation of turning words into a song, but it is the collaborations that complete my works. I live for it.

Quelle est la chanson la plus importante pour toi ? Quel message veux-tu transmettre à l'auditeur ?

The most important song for me has not been released yet. I can tell you that my Producer, Nick Ray will be the Featured Artist on it and it’s called « His Name. » Spiritually-written to bless and awaken the senses. I want it to touch the soul of man.

Pourquoi un auditeur qui ne te connaît pas devrait-il écouter ta musique ?

My intentions to make music is natural. From the pallets under the trees where my « Nanny » had me writing poetry, to the press releases or songs I create, my life has always been in the pen and paper. My musical goals are to place my works, and feel like the words I write will identify, comfort, love or give hope.

Quels sont tes projets futurs ? Où te vois-tu dans 5 ans ?

To continue writing and collaborating. I also work as a Senior Publicist, Set Medic, and Co-Produce Events, so I have projects around every corner. Every day is a blessing that I can live some of my dreams, but in 5 years, I will just see where the road takes me.

Raconte à nos lecteurs un épisode amusant qui s'est produit dans ta carrière d'artiste.

I have a good one. Here is the storyline. « Valeen » comes from Texas with her crown and banner in tow, living quite large with the creative opportunities and a few accolades to her name. Once accomplished to take on Los Angeles, she gets on a plane and lands looking for the red carpet and limos. Much to her dismay, she gets in a van and ends up being a Skoal Bandit and Publicist while creating her songs. Five years later, Valeen finally arrives. I have experienced the red carpet and limos, and the journey was priceless. Thank you to those talents and kind souls who opened the doors for me.
