With HIM, Valo accomplished the remarkable feat of creating an entire genre, enchanting the world with a captivating mix of dark rock anthems and emotionally charged ballads, emerging from the land of the midnight sun.
Valo’s vocal talent is unmatched, boasting a distinguished baritone five-octave crooner voice. He effortlessly makes classics from Chris Isaak and Neil Diamond his own, and wears his heart on his sleeve in HIM hymns like “Funeral Of Hearts,” “Right Here In My Arms,” and “Wings of A Butterfly.” His vocal range has earned him high praise, ranking him among the top singers in popular music.
Transitioning from HIM’s vampiric leader to the solo artist known as VV, Valo’s evolution is symbolised by the iconic Heartagram logo. This symbol, gifted to the world on his 20th birthday, captures the essence of his music: the heart representing the softer side, and the pentagram conveying the heavier, darker elements.
Under the name VV, his debut solo album, “Neon Noir,” released in early 2023, showcases his storytelling prowess and the ability to masterfully blend darkness and light.
VV will treat fans to shows featuring a perfect blend of solo and HIM songs, providing an immersive experience of his musical journey.
