#89 Live Joyfully with a Purpose with Juliette Valle

The Lil' Drummer Girl

Seasons Greetings My Lovely Drumsters,

I hope you had an amazing holiday season and that 2022 brings you all the love, dreams, and fun goodies life has to offer.

Do you love Christmas songs? They immediately seem to make the season of the holidays festive and I don’t think Christmas would be the same without them. They seem to be a genre of music that can make you cry, laugh, or just have fun with the family and friends for some sing-alongs.

I started a collection of Christmas albums after my parents passed because it was one of the traditions we had in our house growing up. They always made me feel like they were there when I’d listen to them.

You’re probably asking me, “Why are we talking about Christmas tunes?” Well for starters it's because today's guest is the lovely Juliette Valle who has created her first album, a wonderful Christmas album titled “Joyfully”. Not only is it one of the most beautiful sounding Christmas albums, but there’s also a great cause that will be helped as it sells. She is donating 100% of the profits to the National Kidney Foundation (a cause near and dear to her heart). And, this means to the world to me as both my mom and brother were Dialysis patients.

Juliette is here today to discuss her current title holder of The Miss Florida Pageant (a title not to be taken lightly). Her new album, and how she’s making an impact with it, and how she balances it all.

Juliette is not only a young beautiful woman on the outside, but, she seems to have a heart of gold. She’s a tremendously talented opera singer (and she’s only a junior in college).

She’s been a classically trained vocalist since she was 8 years old. She holds two state MPA Vocalchampionships for the category of Opera Performance in a Foreign Language.

In 2015 she was admitted to Florida Grand Opera's teen program and became a prodigy for its Young Artists Learning Academy (YALA).

Juliette is currently an undergraduate at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami majoring in Political Science with minors in Broadcast Journalism, Music, and Theatre Arts.
