Valerie Geffner is a New York-based multi-faceted artist; a graduate of the Drama Division at Juilliard. She wrote and produced the albums Antenna, Magic is Free and the recently released Be I AM.
Her songs are powerful, uplifting, and electric. She can deliver the classics as effectively as contemporary pop. She is a theatrical & dynamic mix of the avant-garde, the eclectic and the electronic. Valerie has been declared “a commanding presence,” by the LA Times and “statuesque” by the NY Times.
She has also appeared with world-renowned Pakistani Musician, Salman Ahmad, on the David Lynch transcendental meditation compilation, Download For Good: Music That Changed The World Volume 1' (also featuring Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Amanda Palmer and many more).
BE I AM album is a hypnotic & intoxicating mix of chants, singing and rhythmic spoken word that weaves the connection of the spiritual to the (very vulnerable) human, it´s a journey and an exploration of being human in this transforming time that we´re living in, a rhythmic, spiritual and dynamic set of tunes.
