Valencia Vas, a classically trained soprano, releases her debut album singing diverse lyrics set against soundtrack-like symphonic backgrounds.

Thousand Oaks, CA (PRWeb) March 5, 2007 -- Female vocal master, Valencia Vas, released her debut album on March 1st, 2007, through independent record label, Providence Records. The album, "Reflections," is a culmination of her experience as a classically trained soprano and her advanced education in music. "This album reflects a milestone in my career that was inspired by my journey as an artist. I wanted to use my voice like colors in a pallet. I'm using different qualities at different places in the music. The album is a reflection of sound and color." said Vas.


Valencia attempts to break into the male-dominated Crossover Classical chart with such artists as Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, and Il Divo at the top of the rankings. "I feel like I can add something unique to the genre through my professional experience, my deep understanding of music, and my vocal and artistic range." said Vas. Being a woman in this genre, Valencia is presented with a challenge, but she is no newcomer when it comes to facing tough situations.

Born into a poor family in Northeast Pennsylvania, Valencia overcame many early obstacles before succeeding in recording her debut album, "Reflections". With an abusive, alcoholic father who often scrounged to put food on the table, Valencia quickly learned to deal with the minimum in life. When her father disappeared, like his Native American father before him, Valencia's mother struggled to maintain the household, keep a job, and raise three children. Valencia was forced to become independent at an early age.
