Genre fluidity, fearless self-expression, and a whole lot of bass—Valleria is building a project that moves exactly how she does.
Pretty can be heavy. Feminine can be powerful. And a bass set definitely doesn’t have to stay in one lane.
Valleria is proof of all three.
Specializing in rap, drum and bass, and experimental bass, Valleria has built her sets around movement, energy, and the freedom to switch things up whenever the moment calls for it. But even those genres only tell part of the story.
House, techno, UK garage, and really anything she can dance to can find its way into her world.
For Valleria, genre fluidity isn’t about squeezing as many sounds as possible into one set. It’s about playing music that genuinely excites her—and giving herself the freedom to evolve alongside it.
Bass, Baddies & No Genre Rules
Over time, Valleria has intentionally moved toward creating more dynamic sets.
“Over time, I think my artistry has changed into incorporating more dynamic sets to inspire me and withhold a level of movement and genre fluidity that I appreciate and have fun with.”
— Valleria
That movement is a huge part of what makes a Valleria set feel like a Valleria set.
Rap can meet experimental bass. Drum and bass can take over the room. House or techno might sneak into the mix. And with UK garage becoming another growing source of inspiration, she’s already thinking about where she wants to take her production next.
“I would love to learn how to make UKG and drum and bass.”
Instead of treating genre as a boundary, Valleria treats it like a playground.
If she can dance to it, chances are she’s interested.
Staying True to Your Sound
With that freedom comes another lesson Valleria has learned throughout her journey: not every room is going to understand your sound—and that’s okay.
There have been bookings where her music didn’t perfectly align with the crowd in front of her. Maybe the room wasn’t raging as hard as she hoped, but that didn’t mean the set wasn’t successful.
She still introduced new listeners to her sound.
“Everyone’s taste is gonna be different, and learning that and not being offended by that is gonna keep you true to your roots every single time.”
It’s an important perspective in a scene where crowd reactions, social media numbers, and comparisons can make it tempting to change yourself for approval.
Valleria’s approach is different.
Hold true to the music and artistry that reflect you.
Not every person has to connect with it. The people who do are the ones you’re creating for.
And seeing those people connect has become one of the most rewarding parts of her journey.
“Having friends and fans recognize the work I’m putting in and wanting more of my sound helped me really see that this is something that I’m actually doing for others as well and not just for my own fun of it.”
What started as something she loved doing for herself is becoming something other people are excited to experience alongside her.
Women Who Made Her Want to Take Up Space
Valleria’s artistry has also been shaped by women who showed her just how many different ways there are to be powerful in music.
And yes, the list starts with Rihanna.
In Valleria’s words:
“Rihanna—she speaks for herself.”
Enough said.
Alison Wonderland helped Valleria see women behind the decks when she was first getting started. CloZee, affectionately dubbed her “jungle queen,” continues to inspire her as a producer. REZZ showed her how unique and recognizable sound design can become an artist’s signature.
And then there’s Mija, whose influence reaches beyond music itself.
Mija’s love for community helped shape Valleria’s own appreciation for the scene, while also introducing her to more techno, house, and groove during her earliest days in electronic music.
Different women inspired different pieces of the artist Valleria is becoming—and now she’s finding her own way of bringing those influences together.
A Note to the Next Generation of Baddies
For upcoming female DJs and producers trying to figure out where they belong, Valleria’s advice starts before choosing a genre.
Start with you.
“Find what you want to do with your project. What inspires you? What things about life do you feel inspired by—gardening, cooking, cleaning, flowing, dancing, loving? Find something to gear your project around and make it the center focus.”
Once you know what you’re trying to express, start learning.
DJ. Produce. Experiment. Find the part you love most and keep showing up for it.
“If you like one better than the other, just have fun with it and keep doing it every single day.”
There’s something refreshingly uncomplicated about that advice.
You don’t need to have your entire career mapped out before you start.
Find what lights you up.
Build around it.
Get better at it.
And have some damn fun along the way.
Community Over Competition
That mindset extends beyond female artists.
When asked what she’d like to see change within electronic music as a whole, Valleria came back to something simple: less stigma and more love.
More experienced artists helping people who are still learning.
More people sharing what they know instead of gatekeeping it.
And more genuine support without treating someone else’s success as a threat.
“Any support and love you can give is never ever gonna take away from your own.”
In a culture that can sometimes turn numbers, bookings, lineups, and opportunities into competition, it’s a message worth remembering.
Someone else’s win doesn’t make yours smaller.
Helping another artist doesn’t make you less talented.
And sharing knowledge doesn’t take away the work it took for you to learn it.
There’s room for everyone to grow.
Enter: “Baddie Vials”
Valleria’s own relationship with collaboration can be seen through “Baddie Vials,” her project with Fractal Bloom.
The collaboration started naturally: Fractal Bloom sent over the beat, Valleria joined in, and what began casually turned into something they genuinely loved creating together.
Eventually, that chemistry made its way onto the stage.
But their story actually started before the track.
The artists originally met during a cabin trip, where music quickly became their common language. Somewhere along the way, a marathon seven-hour set helped spark a creative relationship that eventually grew into friendship, collaboration, and live performances together.
It’s almost the perfect example of Valleria’s philosophy in action.
Electronic music brought people together who otherwise may never have met—and instead of competing, they created something new together.
And could another Valleria x Fractal Bloom moment happen?
Never say never.
While both are currently focused on their individual projects, another B2B or collaborative single is absolutely something they’d be open to exploring in the future.
This Is Valleria
Genre-fluid. Feminine. Heavy. Playful. Unpredictable.
Valleria isn’t trying to build a project that fits perfectly inside one corner of electronic music.
She’s building one that reflects her.
As her taste evolves, her sets evolve with it. As she discovers new sounds, she gives herself permission to explore them. And as more friends and fans recognize what she’s creating, she’s realizing the project has become bigger than something she simply does for fun.
Her message to anyone building something of their own is one worth carrying with you:
Stay true to what reflects you. Support the people around you. Keep learning. Keep creating.
And remember—someone else’s shine will never dim yours.
That’s baddie behavior. 💅🔊
