About Valentino
Bio
From the early age of 18, I decided to pursue my passion: music. I think this is the only way to live any project to the full, to be happy and feel motivated every day. I combined my first job with my degree in Business Studies and started my first company when I was 20 – a dotcom in the field of music and nightlife. I have started many different projects since then and have gained a wide perspective of the sector, starting many fruitful relationships with great people and professionals along the way.
The dotcom company was followed by an events and marketing agency, an artist management agency, a record label and a trends magazine. I’m always dreaming up new projects but I always carrying them out, enjoy the ride and love the people I meet through my work.
I’ve always thought there to be no point working in what you like if you don’t have time to stop and enjoy it and appreciate those around you. Keeping a balance between my work life and my personal life hasalways helped me to start every new challenge with plenty of energy
I'm passionate about
MUSIC, SPORT, FRIENDS, LIFE
An idea worth spreading
Bridges for Music is an initiative/platform to help develop
Electronic music in South Africa. The aim is to
benefit the local scene and the poorest communities
using music and the main opinion leaders (artists) to
motivate and help the local scene, connecting it to
the world.
With this project, Bridges for Music aims to bring
together key brands in the music industry in order to
boost the development of electronic music in less
developed areas, offering locals the tools to make
themselves heard.
