Beginning
his
musical
career
with
his
Grandma’s
acoustic
guitar,
Dave
Valdez
became
involved
in
local
music
in
the
northwest
suburbs
of
Chicago,
IL.
After
years
of
performing
and
touring
in
pop/rock
bands,
Dave
decided
to
take
his
own
approach
and
started
writing.
Valaska
headed
into
the
studio
with
Aaron
Marsh,
Producer/Engineer
and
lead
singer
of
a
popular
indie
band,
Copeland,
at
The
Vanguard
Room
in
Lakeland,
FL.
With
the
help
of
Aaron,
Valaska
was
able
to
create
exactly
what
Dave
had
in
mind;
‘Natural
Habitat,’
Valaska’s
new
LP.
“Golden Age”
“When
Aaron
Marsh
puts
his
stamp
of
approval
on
a
project,
that’s
when
you
know
you
should
pay
attention.”
Christian
Wagner
of
Absolute
Punk
“Valaska
is
strikingly
beautiful,
and
the
insightful
lyrics
give
me
chills.”
