I was working like a dog as a housekeeper, barista, nanny, cook, so I could save enough money to really sit with my instruments. Whenever I had 20 minutes, I would practice a new chord or write a new verse. Valerie June baristachordcook share on social
When I was teenager, Britney Spears was it - that was the pop world that was happening, and I knew I wasn't in it. Valerie June britneyhappenknow Change image and share on social
The challenge is how strange and different my voice sounds, so I have tried to sound like other people and tried to be something I wasn't. I have tried to be a soul singer because someone else thought that a good idea. Not because I did. Valerie June challengegoodidea share on social

I paid my dues. I have crawled to gigs. I have served people coffee. I worked hard selling all these records out the back of my car. Girl, I'm ready to sell one the real way now. Valerie June backcarcoffee Change image and share on social
I grew my dreadlocks 12 years ago because they give me the freedom to roll out of bed and not spend hours on my woolly, thick hair. I get tons of dropped jaws and compliments, so I reckon folks like them all right. Valerie June agobedcompliment share on social
As soon as I could talk, I was bellowing at the top of my lungs. My parents couldn't get over how weird I sounded - like an old man when I was just a toddler! But no one was gonna shut me up. Valerie June bellowgonnalung Change image and share on social
