We had the good fortune of connecting with Val Vargas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What distinguishes me from others is my unique presence in the music industry as a female salsa artist. While salsa may not receive as much mainstream attention today, I have garnered a dedicated fan base that has allowed me to perform in concerts and live events, particularly across the United States & South America. Beyond my musical endeavors, I take pride in managing a small Latina female-owned business in South Florida, contributing to the vibrant tapestry of entrepreneurship in the region. It wasn’t easy, it does take patience and time, still taking time! Patience was one of the biggest challenges that I have overcome, and I did by mostly affirming and seeing the progress of all my hard work. Also, seeing the progress through the camera. One of my biggest lessons is that family will always be there even in your darkest moments & faith. “ My goal is to share my compositions with the world. Through my music, I aspire to reach every listener’s heart, reminding them that everything is possible. I wish to inspire a sense of independence.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love my city! Miami! The first place I would take her is R-house on Sunday brunch. Best food, performances, and drinks. The next place is always kayaking at the beach. There are a lot of live performances and one of my favorites is Faena & of course! my performances haha

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I give this dedication to my family and my father for the unwavering support and guidance, whose encouragement led me to pursue the fulfilling career I now enjoy. His lessons on the importance of family unification have been instrumental in shaping my values. Additionally, I extend my heartfelt dedication to my roots in Peru and Colombia, embracing t both cultures and celebrating their rich contributions, especially through the lively rhythms of salsa. ¡Que viva la salsa!
