Singer/Songwriter Valerie Bailey has worked with for
Babyface, Gladys Knight, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Toni Braxton, Steve Tyrell, Milli Vanilli, Jeffrey Osborne, Luther Vandross and on the European leg of Whitney Houston’s Bodyguard tour. She became a member of the legendary vocal group The Fifth Dimension, taking the spot of the famed Marilyn McCoo.
Valerie is married to legendary Earth, Wind & Fire singer/songwriter Philip Bailey and is celebrating the release of her long-awaited debut album, tentatively (and ironically) titled Greatest Hits, featuring eight originals co-written with the recording’s producer, industry veteran Barry Coffing, and fully-lit, funky and hard rockin’ re-imaginings of Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire” and The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” Working with a studio crew that included legendary session and touring musicians Lee Sklar (bass) and Michael Landau (guitar), she offers an infectious blend of raw emotion and inviting sensuality she calls soul/rock.
In this interview, Valerie discusses the intracies of navigating the music industry, her experiences of intentionally living out
one’s dreams by God’s Grace and the formation of her “I Found Me” organization.
