About

Ann Valentine.

Some singers try to entertain people. Others want to express themselves and share something more meaningful with the audience. That is Ann Valentine: a passionate singer with a unique approach to her music.

Her style is a blend of neo-soul, with a twist of electronic music, R&B, and pop. The result feels genuine and personal, yet diverse and eclectic — a truly special vibe.

Inspired by Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, and Jill Scott, Ann is known for vocals with a lot of emotion and feeling. Her album Becoming Ann Valentine is an example of that talent: thought-provoking songs about personal self-affirmation and identity, written to connect with listeners on a deeper level. She has kept writing in that spirit, including her 2023 album, No Name.

She was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and lived in South Carolina until the fifth grade, when her mother, a single parent of two, took a new job. The family moved to the Chicago suburbs, and she still lives in the Chicagoland area.

Ann sang in choir and started writing songs in the sixth grade. Music has been a big part of her life, and songwriting has always been her favorite way to tell a story. Her songs are pictures of her life and the lives of people around her — something that occurs naturally. In the studio, she likes to sit with her guitar and play old songs she has forgotten she even wrote.
