Program Director: Valerie Orth
Valerie Orth is a music producer, songwriter, and activist. Self-possessed and fierce, Orth’s path is multifaceted and spans across many genres. Finding home on stage at age 5, she performed consistently for 15 years in musical theater. While attending Tufts University, she hung around the radio station, improvising over DJ’s beats. Wanting to accompany herself, she picked up guitar. She moved to San Francisco, became a righteous singer-songwriter, independently released four albums, and toured with her rock band. Orth found home again when she moved to NYC and rooted herself in the female beatmaking scene, where she learned, performed, and eventually started teaching electronic music production. She also wrote and produced for Warner Chappell Music Publishing and other music houses.
