Biography
Val Kinzler Bio 2021
Watch out for “Valkyrie” aka Val Kinzler - an undeniable major force in the women in music scene. Whether through her own stamped soulful jazz , blues and rock songwriting or piano, guitar playing and vocals for her own band, Val Kinzler Band (VKB) or commitment to shed the spotlight on underserved women in rock in her event series, NYC Women Who Rock, Val has it going on and has been doing so for the entirety of her music career.
A polished, professional musician from the start of hitting the piano at age 5 and soon after picking up the guitar; then later a student of jazz piano at Berklee, “Valkyrie” has received multiple songwriting awards and recognition in the industry for her musical talents, including:
Martin Guitars Scholarship (C.F. Martin)
1st place Recording Artists Development singer songwriter competition
Top 50 - John Lennon Songwriting Contest
Val’s musical catalog of original songs and collaborations with top artists in nothing short of A-list:
Val has opened for and/or shared the stage with Dr. John, Marty Balin, Three Dog Night, Johnny Johnson, Jon Paris, Danny Burns, Robert Gordon and was also chosen to open for B B King.
Her CD “Resume” was conceptualized and recorded with Producer Larry Rusell (Billy Joel, Mama’s and Papas, Bryan Adams)
Her “True Love Lies” collection included Popa Chubby who played lead guitar and shared in co-production
Val’s infamous “East Third Street” record was produced by Genya Ravan who also sang background vocals. In this it was her pop ballad “Love Won’t Break” which placed in the 1998 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
In her current band, VKB (Val Kinzler Band) Val writes and plays along well-known musicians -- Joseph Vasta (Mink De Ville, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, John Waite), David White (The Hollies, Stumblebunny) and Ihle Factor (Ian Lloyd, John Ford).
In listening to her lineage of music, you will hear Val’s theatrical edge which she has used to create her own soulful sound incorporating rock, rhythm and blues. Val shares a lifetime of joy, pain, love, and loss in her lyrics. Her emotional music has been embraced across her fans, fellow musicians, the music industry, and the women in music she touches daily in her NYC Women Who Rock online community and organized concerts.
Val doesn’t stop there. Directly after 9/11 she felt a calling to use music for positive change in the NYC educational community. It was then that she created her own “Music Cool” songwriting program for the New York City public school system.
Teaching tolerance, and peaceful conflict resolution skills through role play, Val organized anti-bullying campaigns, attained several grants through Newsday’s Future Corps, recorded a peer leadership CD, ran workshops and was asked to present her program to all 25 prevention program directors at the regional offices of the D.O.E. Val’s Music Cool World “Silence The Violence” concert was
recorded live and featured alongside “Sesame Street” and “Songs of Love” on NYC radio’s WFUV’s City Scape Program.
Today Val effectively balances the creation and production of her own music in her band, VKB , ongoing events for other women in rock music in NYC to share the stage and the provision of “edutainment” to the musical youth in her community.
Check out her latest single “Everyday” - an up-lifting anthem addressing terrorism and it’s impact our world. VKB music is currently distributed by Bongo Boy Records in the U.S., Asia and Europe.
