Scott Valentine Presents

1 Original Album Experience.

Scott Valentine is a 33 year-old singer/songwriter from Vancouver Island, Canada. His debut

album, Seasons, is a truly unique undertaking. Scott wrote, performed, recorded, produced,

designed and printed the album entirely on his own over a two year period. It’s a culmination of

the pains and heartaches of his past and his hopes and dreams for the future; a document of the

peaks and valleys of human drama, as seen through his own life experiences.

Seasons consists of 4 CDs (one disc each for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) and 1 DVD

(Seasons: A Film Journey). 57 songs span across the four seasons, representing a young man’s

expanding consciousness through his journey of mortality. The companion DVD, Seasons: A

Film Journey, is a visual representation of the album realized in a well crafted, stylish, and

professional short film. An extended, four-song, concept music video shot in HD.

Valentine creates an intensely personal feeling with his music that truly penetrates the heart and

soul, generating astoundingly beautiful music. With an uncanny sense of melody, Scott's rich and

soulful voice reveal an old-soul with a wisdom beyond his years. Accompanying his soaring

baritone is a five-string, open tuned rhythmic guitar style all his own. His songs have an

immediate sense of honesty and clarity that's all but lost in much of today's music. His natural

and effortless folkiness somehow make him impossibly real and familiar, like an old friend

delivering a message of hope that's hard to ignore.

As a young man, Valentine stumbled upon "Ishmael"; a wondrous little book that ultimately

changed his life. Inspired by the book and its message, Scott decided to send a letter to the

author, Daniel Quinn, explaining the impact his writing had on him.

"One month later, I received a phone call from Daniel inviting me to join he and his wife at their

home in Houston, Texas. I accepted without hesitation and proceeded to spend the following six

months with him engaged in dialogue and discussion, becoming some of the most cherished and

inspired times of my life."

Unbeknownst at the time, the experience provided Scott with a great spiritual strength he would

later rely on to see him through the difficult times that lay ahead. Three months after returning

home, Scott's only brother, Paul, was killed outside of a late-night fast food restaurant.

"While this tragedy is the greatest I've experienced, it is indeed a microcosm of the conflicts faced

by others throughout the world each and every day. The loss of my brother has given me a

strength to share the feelings, concerns, doubts and ideas that I believe many people hold close to

their hearts."

"I believe the power of music can create change and push our societies further along in a journey

of cultural evolution. I dream of witnessing firsthand the influence of honesty in modern music

as it becomes less about the celebration of greed, sex and the accumulation of wealth, and more

about people learning, growing, changing, and adapting to the trials of life with balance, respect

and understanding."

On Tuesday March 24th, Valentine will be releasing one song a week as a free download on his

website, doing so each week for a full year, 57 songs in total. The newly launched website will

feature new content every week with discussions behind each of the songs, live video

performances, and lyrical short films.

"I hope Seasons can offer comfort and hope to people who desire something more from their life.

I believe that hope does exist and is alive and well, burning just beneath the surface, even if the

majority of the music industry has stopped looking to find it.”

Hope. Love. Truth. Redemption. Scott Valentine Presents...Seasons.
