Since my birthday falls on the 14th day of February, it’s
no mystery how I got my name.
“Born in Cross River state, this charming music sensation grew up
and schooled in Cameroon
where he was educated up to advanced level and even learnt to speak and write
French. With musical influence from geniuses like R Kelly, Chris Brown and our
very own Tuface Idibia and being one who is naturally drawn to telling stories
through music, Valentine writes and composes melodies from his heart in English,
French and Yoruba, making him the ultimate African artiste.
Since relocating to the motherland in 2006, he has made
his raw passion for music a profession. Gifted with an amazing vocal texture
and commanding stage presence, He was one of the 4 winners from Ibadan and a
semi-finalist in the 1st season of the reality show, PEAK TALENT HAUNT. Since
then he grown steadily and worked with several established artists in the
Nigerian music industry.
In 2011, Mr Val got signed to Big Dreams Entertainment; a
record label located in Lagos, Nigeria and has since recorded a number of
singles under their management. Releasing his first single under the label
titled “S’AYE TEMI” on 21st March 2012, a song which he recently
recorded with a clear and inspiring message for everyone. He also recorded ‘The
Xmas Song’, in collaboration with upcoming and fellow Big Dreams signed
artist, AKAS. Currently working on music videos and shows lined up, Mr Val is
definitely ready to stride in 2012”.
MY MUSIC:
If you love songs
that tell sensible stories with the most melodious tunes ever, then Mr Val will
not be a disappointment. His songs are such that you sing along to even though
you've never heard them before. He writes simple songs about complex things
like Life, Love and Family, in such ways that allow emotions connect as
melodies soar. You could feel his passion and almost hear his heartbeat as you
listen!
