Victoria Valendo

Whats up!! I'm a female vocalist, guitarist, bassist, and songwriter located in North County San Diego. I play bars, clubs, and mostly wineries as a solo artist.

I've been a guitarist for 13 years, and a singer for about 9 years. I started playing bass 6 months ago, so I'd say I'm intermediate at best, but I'm down to substitute as a session bassist. I'm currently learning the drums but I kind of suck right now!

I started on the streets in my hometown at 16 years old, and I've been playing every weekend at various venues since. I have mostly been a lead singer and guitarist in classic rock cover bands, but I'd highly prefer playing original music. I've done weddings, festivals, hotels parties, and I've jumped in as a sub for other bands' members. I'm currently in a professional cover band with a group of friends, but nobody I know is interested in my preferred style of music. I love hard rock, post punk, and metal, and my biggest inspirations are Alice In Chains and Nothing But Thieves. All I can find around San Diego are indie bands, and I'm just not interested in that.

I have a self-sufficient amount of professional gear I use regularly:

Martin D-18E Fender American Professional Strat Epiphone ES335 (brandonwound pickups) JBL tower PA system Pedalboard with too many pedals to list here Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III Tonebone TZ Pre-Effect Pedal (used for acoustic only)

I just wanna be around musicians who aren't afraid of being creative and weird!
