VALENTIN

      "Inspired by heartache;
      Transpired by technology and synapses;
      Aspired like a sniper rifle;
      Hired to kill by the listener."

Valentin strives to merge the intensity and dark colours of industrial rock music into the mold of the pop/dance genre, "I just want to give people something edgy and new to dance to. Not everyone can connect to the Top 40...I'd like to get a more artistic crowd to the floor."

           "...industrial rock with catchy pop melodies, dance beats,
           poetic words, and a hint of an 80's throwback.
           Commercial music with exposed guts,
           veins, and a beating heart."

His main influences include: Lady Gaga, Nine Inch Nails, Robyn, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, A Perfect Circle, and Queen. He writes, composes, plays, records everything himself as an independent[ly broke] artist.

As far as creative inspiration? He dances around his experiences with that infamous four-letter word generally approached from a bitter, sarcastic perspective. His album "MECHANIC" debuts in both physical and digital form on Valentin[e]'s Day. If you're in need of a break from sappy, crappy love songs...then take comfort in his cynical, eleven-track debut.
