Prepare for Valerie Troutt
September 7, 2008 by souloperator
Interview by: Tika Milan
Oakland native Valerie Troutt is an accomplished vocalist and songwriter with her music spanning the gambit from soul to world and gospel to electronica. Her velvet, soulful voice lends itself to tradition jazz tracks while her youthful and creative approach melds jazz to other genres without missing a beat. Her haunting love song “I Am Bound”, was featured on U People Download Music Mix Card for April with DJ Lovelee and we at U People loved it so much that we asked Valerie to take time out of recording a new album due out next year and planning a European tour to discuss her inspirations, her plans for the future and the “fear of a fat planet.”
