About Me

Hello, I’m Valerie — thanks for visiting my page!

I grew up in a small town on the South Shore of Massachusetts, where singing, performing, and playing guitar have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Music has always been my true passion. Throughout middle and high school, I was deeply involved in music programs, and I went on to earn a degree in Classical Vocal Performance in college. More recently, I’ve started learning the violin, adding a new layer to my musical journey. Simply put, music is at the core of who I am.

As a writer and storyteller at heart I’m drawn to raw, gritty storytelling style, and I strive to bring that authenticity into my songwriting and original music. I released my debut album, Hurt & Healing, on September 30, 2022, and my second album, Lucky Ones EP, came out on August 2, 2024. I’d love for you to give them a listen!

One of my most memorable experiences was singing both the American and Canadian National Anthems at Gillette Stadium during a Revolution game, performing in front of 30,000 people — truly a dream come true.

Outside of music, you’ll often find me traveling, horsebackriding, paddleboarding, or spending time with friends. I’m a fan of summer days, sundresses, stylish hats, and a well-crafted old fashioned. Above all, I believe life is too short not to laugh, be a little weird, and enjoy every moment.

Well, if you’ve read this far, thank you! To stay updated on my latest music, upcoming shows, and announcements, feel free to follow me on Instagram and Facebook. I'm always playing around the South Shore and beyond so take a look at my schedule and hope to see you there!
