Five Fun Facts with Jodi Valentin
Jodi Valentin
We #lauv Jodi and we think you will too!
Brooklyn born pop artist Jodi Valentin is one of those up and comers that you'd want to label as "the next Taylor Swift." But just because a woman also sings heartfelt story-based songs doesn't mean she should be placed in the same box as a major recording artist. Don't get me wrong, not bashing T Swift or any other female artist that wants to be just like her or reach her level of success. I'm just trying to say that Jodi is a star in her own right, even if she does note Taylor as an influence.
Don't just take my word for it. You can hear how good Jodi is at telling a story in every one of her songs. It helps that she's a multi-cultured woman who is well-traveled and who has worked under the thumb of Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) and Nigel Godrich. We are sure her sweet and personable demeanor has been a significant factor in why various big-time producers have worked with her. Of course, aside from her undeniable talent.
Listen to her latest single below, that we've had on rotation since it's release.
Did we mention that she's basically had a front-row seat to Maggie Rogers' career? Jodi has sat beside Maggie in NYU classes, where they got to critique each other's songwriting. Pretty cool, right!? We are certainly keeping our eye on Miss Valentin and what stories she shares next via her music.
And don't worry, we have a couple of more cool facts about the songstress for your reading pleasure here:
I listen to French music, even though I don't speak it!
I've never broken a bone or had braces.
Holiday, my adopted racing greyhound, was named after the jazz singer, Billie Holiday!
I graduated from NYU's Clive Davis Institute with Maggie Rogers, FLETCHER, and songwriter Madison Emiko Love! We all took a songwriting class together.
I have a SERIOUS crush on Lauv. His songwriting, voice, bold clothing choices, and sense of humor are all so attractive to me. I #lauv him :)
