He honed his skills, developing a distinctive sound that fused catchy pop hooks with intricate electronic arrangements.

Behind the Music: The Art of Vocaloid
For those unfamiliar with Vocaloid technology, it’s essentially software that allows users to create realistic-sounding vocals using synthesized voices. Vocaloids come in various “voicebanks,” each with a unique personality and vocal style. Valerian’s signature sound often features Hatsune Miku, a popular Vocaloid known for her high-pitched, cheerful voice, but he also experiments with other voicebanks to create diverse musical textures.
The use of Vocaloid has sparked debate in the music industry. Some argue that it devalues the role of human singers, while others see it as a revolutionary tool that opens up new creative possibilities. Valerian himself embraces both perspectives, acknowledging the importance of human connection in music while celebrating the technological advancements that allow him to express his artistic vision in unique ways.
More Than Just Music: Valerian’s Philanthropic Side
Valerian is not just a talented musician; he is also deeply committed to social causes. He actively supports organizations dedicated to promoting education and mental health awareness among young people. In 2021, Valerian launched his own initiative, “Voices for Change,” which encourages fans to use their voices to advocate for positive change in the world.
This commitment to making a difference extends to Valerian’s music. Many of his songs explore themes of hope, resilience, and self-acceptance, resonating with listeners facing personal challenges. Valerian believes that music has the power to heal, inspire, and unite people from all walks of life.
