Valala

Zurich, Suisse

Valérie de Montmollin is a singer with dual French/Swiss nationality who alternates between living in Zurich and France. Her 2021 public début was in front of an enthusiastic audience at Zurich’s Frauenbad (women’s bath) where she sang a colourful selection of expressive chansons. An approach of taking existing songs and giving these her own individual rendition means that she is able to cover well-known songs by popular artistes, but imbue these with the current zeitgeist. When Valérie de Montmollin sings, she takes her audience on a musical tour de force and creates an atmosphere of exhilaration that truly opens hearts. Concomitantly, the high degree of interest that French savoir vivre is currently enjoying is also quite remarkable. This interest is exactly what seeded this project: Valérie wishes to use her music to help break down cultural and linguistic barriers.
