Valentina Sounds (Valentina Raffaelli) is a full time musician, indie songwriter,and music teacher based out of Philadelphia. Born and raised in Italy, she moved here to study Jazz Vocal Performance at University of the Arts and then proceeded to start her career in music, performing and wiring for several original projects such as Sunshine Superman (youtube.com/sunshinesupermanpa) and Sparkle Pony (www.sparkleponyband.com).
After years of playing in bands she decided to start her own solo act, working just off of her vocalizer and vocal loop, which she uses to create live arrangements of originals and covers. The show is amazing.
She just launched her new video “I can’t stand the rain” originally recorded by Ann Peebles in 1973.
