Born & raised the 5th child of 8 children in the heart of New Jersey. My name is Kiana but others know me as Valure from the reality tv show Blowing up Fatty Koo that aired on BET last spring. My passion for music motivated signed sealed & delivered by anointed voices such as the Spirit of the King, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, India Arie, & Tank. Singing even before i could see myself in the mirror. My music is seasoned with life and all that pertains to it. I sing it how i feel it.

Audrey Ryan - Music is lyrical, eclectic, innovative, and genre-bending. Her songwriting blends together the influences of her parent's generation. Joni Mitchell, Dylan, and Neil Young - her generation Radiohead, Wilco, and Arcade Fire. The Seven Days in Burlington, VT described Audrey?s music as anything but formulaic. With its liberal use of jazz progressions, quick tempo shifts, and a vast sea of musical influences, the album has myriad sounds and reflections. As a performer she has been hailed nationally both as a gifted songwriter and as a seasoned instrumentalist and improviser.
