ABOUT
Valencia discovered her talent for songwriting in her early teens. The first lockdown coincided with a prolific first phrase of songwriting on the guitar and piano, during a particularly difficult time in her life. Valencia was 16 and living in Poole, Dorset (she has since relocated to London). “I had some people to talk to about it, but I needed to grow and figure out how to heal on my own. I didn’t know how to express my anger or sadness other than through writing.” Through very formative and challenging teenage years Valencia has been provided with remarkable empathy, one that endears her to an early but impressively active fanbase. There are many lessons that Valencia has learned even at 18 years old, and she is unafraid to channel her story into art. For Valencia, the process of songwriting is therapeutic, an escape, but it's also clear she’s on a mission to be a voice for other girls. You can see it in her posture, the way she carries herself, she’s here to make an impact.
