Between the music studies and the day job creating flower arrangements (for Valentine’s Day, miss Valentine even held a flower bouquet stand at the Maison Kitsuné Paris boutique!), classically trained Alison Valentine crafts feminine laptop pop just like the delectable and tropical “Circles and Triangles” featured on the new Kitsuné AMERICA 2 compilation!

We asked her to present herself in a few words, so let’s read her funny and girlie self-portrait below!

Three things we shouldn’t know about Alison Valentine :
– Sometimes my friends call me Ali. When I was little my nickname was Allycat. The French boys call me “petit chat”

– I study music at NYU right now. I wrote “Circles and Triangles” about those times when I’m daydreaming during class and drawing pictures all over my notebooks.

– Next to school and singing I am also a florist and I have a flower company called 11×11.
11 is my lucky number and the x in the centre is a kiss.
We make flower creations for many music and fashion clients around New York City.  For Valentine’s Day, this year, I sold bouquets for the all lovers at the Maison Kitsuné boutique in Paris. Even though I am from New York I have a California soul, and in January I played my first show in California with my friend Moon Boots.
While I was singing, a crazy Mexican man jumped on the stage and tried to snatch away my mic,  so I punched him and sent him flying off the stage into the crowd.

Perpetually on the trail of ingenuous talents designing now tomorrow’s soundscapes, trusty Kitsuné releases its new Kitsuné AMERICA 2 compilation, a diverse and quirky selection of tracks which stick to no rules but their own!

Borrowing here, digging deep there, Kitsuné found the new and unexpected sonic hybrids, which groove and urban vibes will keep you springing all Summer long!
