“A stunning solo debut album. Earthy, warm, velvety songs with a retro folk-jazz feel, delicious musicianship from a first rate band….and a gorgeous voice”.

Valeria Stewart is a uniquely original voice in the contemporary music scene—a guitarist, vocalist, and singer-songwriter whose multilingual performances draw from a rich tapestry of Latin, folk, jazz, and Americana influences.

Born in Buenos Aires and raised in Washington, DC, Valeria brings a deep sense of cultural fusion and emotional authenticity to each song she writes and sings.

Stewart (née Rodriguez-Rozic) digs deep into her Latin roots on this solo debut, produced with singer-songwriter and lead guitarist Kevin Dudley. Her velvet-warm, understated voice—carrying a distinct Porteño accent—permeates the seven-song record titled, “Raíces|Roots”.

The all-Spanish album, features award-winning original songs (John Lennon Weekly Winner, Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, International Songwriting Contest) plus her interpretation of two classic songs from Cuba and Argentina, respectively. At the heart of everything she does is a passion for connection—using music as a powerful bridge between people, cultures, and stories.
