Valmy

Valmy is a St. John’s-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Ontario who has been following the ocean and making home on the East Coast of Canada. Exploring the complexities of humanhood, relationship, grief, and healing, she uses her folk-influenced music to tell stories about loving and stumbling your way through the dark. Valmy creates and performs from a place of honesty and wonder, weaving nature-inspired melodic swells and atmospheric harmonies with her contemplative writing to let the light in. In September 2023 she independently released her debut full-length album, The In Between: a collection of songs written over the past several years given new life through original arrangements, and featuring performances by friends in the St. John’s music community. Valmy’s debut was received warmly by listeners and given a thoughtful review from Tony Ploughman of Fred’s Records: "There is a cohesiveness to this full album offering meditative musings on balancing one’s own mental state in harmony with nature, the songs providing a methodical process to achieve that balance. And the underlying intensity to follow through on the beckoning of one’s thoughts and emotions to create is constant…Deftly produced, engineered and mixed, “The In Between” is one of 2023’s finest NL Releases”. Since this release, Valmy has been the recipient of MusicNL's 2024 'Solo Artist of the Year' award, nominations for 2023's 'Folk/Roots Artist of the Year' and 'Rising Star of the Year', and  2024 ECMA Nomination for African Canadian Artist of the Year. Having completed her solo tour through Eastern Canada, Valmy aims to continue connecting with communities through opportunities to perform her music in new regions
