Hey there! This is Valentina and her guitar singing a couple of songs of her own. I started writing these songs the night of July 3rd of 2006 and since then I've been kind of inspired to keep doing it. The sound is not that great because I recorded it in my computer with a normal microphone so you might not find anything really profesional, eventually though, I will try to improve everything about it and hey, maybe I'll get a single out!
Why this name?
I chose the name Caribean because it was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of my heritage. I'm from Venezuela and I feel strongly connected to the tropic so there you go.
Do you play live?
So far I've only played in my house by myself in front of a computer. I would like to play somewhere else though but I guess that takes more time to accomplish. To me, everytime I've came up with a new song is a special moment, it's just so exciting even though 2 days later I might think it really sucks. I love playing the guitar and singing along with it, specially when I'm in the porch of my house at night and I have no witnesses except for the night itself.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It definatelly does. If it wasnt for that many artists wouldnt be able to share their work with half of the people that they share it with today. Personally, I wouldnt be able to share it with my people from venezuela and they have been the first factor that have kept me going on writing more songs.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
HELL YEAH! If I ever got the chance I wouldnt doubt it twice.
Band History:
I just started in a MySpace page so that's my history. The link is http://www.myspace.com/caribea
Your influences?
Musical influences... well As I've said so many times before my original, first and true influence is love and a broken heart, at least as of right now. Some people might think it sounds corny or something else but I believe that when things come from a true place of your heart and your entire being, then the audience and listener and people in general are going to like it more and understand the message. Just as long as you're not bullshiting it is always going to be captivating to whoever is listening.
Favorite spot?
Umm.... that's a difficult one. I love Venezuela with everything I have but I have seen some other places too and I really wish I could be in every one of them all the time.
Equipment used:
As of right now, my guitar and my voice. If I had a band it would be better.
Anything else...?
Well people I just hope you enjoy what I have to offer. I'm a begginer so anything you can tell me to improve my work I would appreciate a lot.
