About
VALERIAN SUN was founded in-late 2021 by drummer Jon-Mikel Valudes following a lengthy hiatus from past music projects; including <a href="spotify:artist:4HrkLxQHZ5mgCtIVpiH5QX" data-name="From Ashes to New">From Ashes to New</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1wTL84OHuoVnYJIr3Fx1nE" data-name="Down & Dirty">Down & Dirty</a>. Jon-Mikel explains, "After years of just listening to music, I constantly found myself wanting more from what's available. After realizing that I wasn't the only one that felt this way; it was only a matter of commitment.” The first member to join was Guitar Player magazine, "Guitar Superstar" Champion, Trey Alexander; followed by former NBC's The Voice finalist, James Wolpert. The group began recording music together in late-2021, followed by the release of their debut single ‘All at Once.' Shortly after the debut release, VS was awarded "Best New Band/Artist of 2021" at the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards. After months of acting as a trio, the band decided to reach out to another long-time friend in hopes of introducing a fourth member. After only a few phone calls, Stanford University's doctoral graduate of Music Composition, Hassan Ali joined as the group's missing link. VALERIAN SUN writes and records everything from scratch with multi-Grammy-nominated record producers Grant McFarland and Carson Slovak.
