"Who are you ?"
I'm Val. Nice to meet you.
I'm a guy from France in his 20s who's passionate about music and eager to share that with the world.My main occupation though is visual art.
I draw illustrations, comics and do some graphic design.

No idea what to listen to ? Too bored to even try searching for something ? Well, here's a 27 minutes mix that might quench your thirst for new sounds, curated by yours truly.
A project worth a listen :
Connan Mockasin - Jassbusters (2018)A sickly voice, a little frog secretly hanging from his vocal chords, or a dolphin's rostrum to replace a broken mouth... Forever in love, and forever flirting with incomprehensibility. All is done in the perfect fashion of the smug, domineering man Connan Mockasin enjoys embodying from time to time.The sultriness of guitars over quiet and unhurried drum patterns summons a mood you would rather locate late at a bar, barely conscious and trying to focus on the annoyed stare of a barman... And perhaps, in an excess of romance, you'd mistake that annoyance for tenderness.
Maybe it is ?Connan Mockasin delivers an intimate yet aloof project, stubborn in its attempts at evoking a domestic flirtation... And it's terribly attractive. We feel deeply the sexuality and occasional sensitivity of a man who's managed to transform his parts of ugliness into something alluring and mysterious.Favorite track : Last Night
