For Jorge Vallentine, songwriting is an act of survival — one that’s seen him through even the rock bottom moments of a tumultuous relationship ending in divorce. His tender, yet powerful, indie folk reflects a hard-won integration of love and loss, light and dark, empathy and grit, suffering and joy, inviting you to hold the full spectrum of life with grace. Using honest storytelling, intimate vocals, and confessional lyrics, Vallentine connects the uniquely personal to the universal, his performances compelling and dynamic emotional journeys created through a combination of pulsing rhythms, moody reverb, soft distortion, live looping, and vocal effects.
