Hi.

I’m Val

A distinct voice based in Minnesota exploring music, identity, culture, and human complexity — with candor and edge!

I’m the one sharing the soundtrack to your next obsession.

My podcast, Vigorously with Val Kleinhans, includes artist interviews, conversations with creatives, and solo reflections from me that go past promo and into the real human side of creativity.

I host candid conversations that go beyond the surface — exploring who artists are, how creators think, why music matters, and what inspires the work we connect with.

New episodes go live weekly on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
