What is Valslist?
Valslist launched in 2007 as a playlist business. After the advent of the iTunes Music Store in 2003, Val's mission was to help busy adults keep up with new music by introducing them to emerging artists that they might not discover on their own in a digital music store with 5 million songs. Val's playlists are curated with handpicked tracks by Val - no algorithms - with her adult audience in mind. A digestible amount of music to keep you hip and not overwhelmed. Valslist playlists include all genres to fit a mood. There's something for every taste
