STORRY
“Thank you iluvlive for surprising me and having me be a part of this awesome development program. I feel like my team has now expanded and we’re not doing this alone! It’s only up from here. :-) We appreciate it dearly.”
iluvlive, Stellar Songs and Tim & Danny Music are excited to announce VALNTNA and STORRY as the newest additions to the artist development programme.
South London’s powerhouse vocalist, VALNTNA, is making waves with her take on 90’s R&B and Soul, creating her own distinct style. Using her music to create unity and heal, VALNTNA oozes positivity and sends an important message about self-love. 2023 single, Glow Queen reached 63.1K on TikTok videos and VALNTNA reached 10M total views on TikTok in August 2023.
Previous support has come from Reprezent Radio, BBC 1Xtra, Pulse88, Spotify, GRM Daily, Notion, and Wonderland. Her upcoming EP ‘Rise of the Feminine Devine’ drops later this year when she hopes to take you on a trip on her soul train.

Performer, visual artist and advocate STORRY, is a multifaceted artist who describes herself as having the vocals of Adele, the grit of Cardi B and theatrics of Queen. She is an in-demand collaborator having worked with Sly & Robbie (Another Man), Burna Boy (Alarm Clock), and STORMZY (This Is What I Mean).
STORRY has been nominated for two JUNO Awards as an artist in her own right, amongst numerous awards for the music and visuals for debut album ‘CH III: The Come Up’.
STORRY is currently preparing to release ‘CHAPTER 2: Run’, the prequel to her debut album, in 2024 with singles rolling out from October 2023. She continues to make her live performances a truly visceral experience that needs to be experienced to be believed.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The iluvlive Artist Development Programme was launched in 2014 and was born out of a desire to help further acts’ careers via our platforms and networks. Each year, we select two acts and offer our expertise and guidance over a 12-month period.
For 2023 we are excited to announce the programme will be in partnership with Stellar Songs / Tim & Danny Music (more info here). This will add a powerhouse of support for artists and ensure sessions and a writing camp inclusion as part of the Programme. The Programme is open every six months for two applicants to join the 12-month scheme
We allocate a budget of £5000 for each participant to spend on what we call hard costs such as mixing, mastering, PR, plugging, tour support, videos etc. But most of the value we offer comes from the vast expertise we have as a team and from our ability to utilise our contacts to your benefit.
We are proud to have supported artists including Izzy Bizu, Emmavie, Morgan Munroe, Jords, Blizzard, Tobi Sunmola, Anjelo Disons, Laura White and Lylo Gold.
