Vale Peñaranda is a versatile Bolivian artist based in Miami, FL—singer-songwriter, producer, arranger, and sound engineer—recognized for her authenticity and powerful blend of Latin rock, pop & soul. 

​

Her musical journey began at age 10 with piano and continued with voice studies, graduating with honors in Contemporary Singing from the National Conservatory of Music in Bolivia. She soon earned scholarships to two of the world’s most prestigious music schools: Berklee College of Music and the Frost School of Music, where she studied under Grammy and Emmy-winning mentors such as Carlos Rafael Rivera and Randall Barlow (Credits with Cristian Castro, Alejandro Fernández, Gloria Estefan and more) 

 

Vale has performed on stages across Latin America, and the US, including the "Suena Caracas Latin American Music Festival" (sharing the stage with Café Tacuba and Cultura Profética), the "International Folk Festival", and the "Latin American VIVE Music Festival" at the Berklee Performance Center, as well as Bolivia’s renowned Festijazz and Festiblues. She has also arranged and directed live ensembles, incorporating strings and large band formats that showcase her versatility beyond performance.

 

Her achievements have been highlighted by leading Bolivian media such as La Razón, El Deber, Los Tiempos, El Diario, and Correo del Sur, positioning her as one of Bolivia’s most promising international artists.

 

In addition to her artistry, Vale has built a professional career as a sound engineer and production assistant, collaborating with Grammy-winning producers such as Charles Dye (Ricky Martin, Bon Jovi), Carlitos López (Bad Bunny, Tainy), and Maria Elisa Ayerbe (Paula Arenas, Il Divo). She also worked at Interscope Records as an A&R admin, supporting projects for Spanish artist Bad Gyal, which deepened her industry experience behind the scenes.

 

Her authenticity and creativity have earned her significant recognition. In 2022, she won Best Artistic Music Video at the Eduardo Abaroa Awards with her single Renacer. That same year, she was selected as one of only ten global winners of the Leading Ladies of Entertainment mentorship by the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation, an honor celebrating her trajectory as a female producer and musician.

 

Vale’s debut album, Renacer (2024), blends rock, pop, and soul with a retro flavor and strong female narrative. With five original songs and two bonus tracks, the project explores themes of rebirth, empowerment, and emotional resilience, marking her as a rising voice in Latin American rock soul.
