Where Independent Music Finds Its Voice

Vertel eens iets over jezelf, wie ben je en waar kom je vandaan?

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.

Hoe is je passie voor muziek ontstaan? Wie zijn je idolen?

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.

Wat voor soort muziek maak je?

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.

Wat is voor jou het belangrijkste nummer? Welke boodschap wil je overbrengen aan de luisteraar?

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.

Waarom zou een luisteraar die jou niet kent naar je muziek luisteren?

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.

Wat zijn je toekomstige projecten? Waar zie je jezelf over 5 jaar?

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.

Vertel onze lezers een grappige gebeurtenis in je carrière als artiest.

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.
