Valora
The new sensational rock band, Valora, is taking everyone by storm. Lead singer Syd Duran, with her electrifying voice and passionate guitar playing, is the heart and soul of Valora. “Each member lends their own unique talents and personality to Valora. We’re bandmates, best friends, and family” Syd says of Lead guitarist Ryan Villa, guitarist Armani Sanchez, drummer Jared Baez, and bassist Kasim Somers.
Syd describes Valora’s music as “theatrical rock,” with an emphasis on “epic songs.” The band’s sound has been compared to Heart, Muse and Queens of the Stone Age. Valora just completed writing and recording songs for their debut album, currently set for release in June of this year. The band collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer Johnny K, best known for his highly-acclaimed work with Three Doors Down, Plain White T’s, Disturbed and Staind. With Johnny K’s touch, this contagious rock band has created a genuine, heart-wrenching rock album that will withstand the tests of time.
Valora’s passion for their music shines through in their unforgettable live performances. Relaying a deep connection to her life’s pursuit of music, Syd reflects, “During the day, I feel like I’m a mermaid walking around on land. But when I’m on stage, I’m back in the water, where I belong. There’s nowhere else that feels more like home to me.”
“It’s been a long journey,” Syd exclaims excitedly, “but I promise, when you finally hear this album, you’ll agree that it was worth the wait!”
