Today for Day 2 of our 12 Days of Vocalists we would like to feature the amazingly talented Kiyomi Valentine of Hunter Valentine. This past summer many were first introduced to her sultry passionate vocals on the Make or Break: Linda Perry Project. Hunter Valentine, already  had a very dedicated fan base before the show, as they were already familiar with the incredible talent that Kiyomi carries, but it was great to see them showcased on the show and open up an entire new fan base. I, for one was not familiar with them. Believe me, I beat myself up over not knowing them sooner. They had such a great refreshing honest sound, and from the first time Kiyomi sang, I was hooked.

Kiyomi‘s vocals truly bring out her passion for music as she sings, she literally bleeds out her emotions through her songs. I love how she can switch it up from fun, flirty, aggressive, sultry, powerful, vulnerable, happy to sad. She has an excellent range that delivers rich tones and colors in her voice.  As well, she has a very emotive stage presence, making her an ideal frontwoman. She is charismatic and energetically  engaging with her audience.  We have yet to see Hunter Valentine perform live and I hoping that 2015 will bring them to California.

In October, for Anti-Bullying month, Hunter Valentine released a music video for their song, Nowhere To Run and to help bring attention and STOMP Out Bullying.  The video is stellar and the song is truly touching and provides hope to those who struggle or are facing any challenges.
