ABOUT

Valentina is a singer-songwriter from South London, blending soul, R&B and jazz with cinematic and orchestral influences. With an old-soul voice and a deep appreciation for the music of generations before her, she draws inspiration from artists including Amy Winehouse, Adele and RAYE while creating a sound and identity distinctly her own.

With Italian and Filipino heritage, Valentina grew up in a loud, close-knit and musical family. Her nonno was an opera singer who rarely went anywhere without his guitar, shaping her early relationship with music, performance and storytelling.

Songwriting became more personal during her teenage years, when music helped her navigate heartbreak, difficult friendships and finding her sense of self. That experience continues to shape the way she writes today, honestly and emotionally, with the hope that someone might hear their own story in hers.
