Life
Valy was born in
Mashhad,
Iran on May 29, 1986. When Valy was still young, his family left Iran and moved to
Heidelberg, Germany where he spent his childhood.
He was interested in music from his early years, and as both his parents were musicians as well, they taught him early on.
In addition to his parents, various artists from Afghanistan and Iran also contributed to his upbringing as a singer. This was also the first time that he came in contact with
Avang Music, an Iranian-American record label. One singer who taught and influenced Valy was the late
Nasrat Parsa. As he was educated by these various musicians, he not only learned many different styles of music, but also became more aware of his of his identity, culture and heritage.
By 2006, Valy became well-known as a singer, and by 2007, he released his first album,
After Love
. He appeared in numerous television interviews and his
fanbase grew. Following the release of his first album, he went on his
first tour (December 21, 2007 – January 5, 2008), in which he visited Canada and the United States.
