About Valeree
Known as Valeree, queer LA-based artist Megan Mortensen crafts hooky, R&B and Jazz-influenced pop with a witty, bold point of view, delivering introspective lyrics with mainstream-ready melodies. The Pittsburgh-native songwriter has been candid about a history with substance abuse that involved hospitalizations, rehab centers, homelessness, and jail, all of which lend themselves to her storytelling pen. Valeree is passionate advocate for women and for mental health, subjects often reflected in her songwriting. She first garnered buzz with her debut EP “Masochist” in 2020, a project which was nominated for multiple awards, including “Best Pop EP” at the Independent Music Awards. Her sophomore project, 2021 EP “it’s fine, i’m fine”, saw multiple songs experience virality on TikTok. She has since released a slew of singles, several of which have experienced similar online virality, including recent single “The Table” off of her debut LP “Interrupted”. Her most recent release, debut full-length album "Interrupted" explores mental health, trauma, addiction, and vulnerability in womanhood. It has received accolades from critics and awards alike, notably achieving a nomination for "Best Independent Album" at the 2024 Hollywood Independent Music Awards.
