Andrea Vallé

Where were you born and where are you based? Philadelphia.

What’s a book or film that changed your life? Disney’s Cinderella – that film changed my life as a young girl. I was already a Disney princess fanatic and loved music, but seeing Brandy as Cinderella and such a diverse cast, it felt really monumental. It showed me how important representation is.

When are you most happy? I feel most happy when the sun is out. That’s pretty cliché but it’s true because I’m a summer baby who’s anaemic, unfortunately. I’m happiest when I’m creating in peace or with people who enjoy my time and company just as much as I enjoy theirs.

What’s your zodiac sign?

I’m a Leo sun, Virgo moon, Libra rising.

Most overused phrase?

“Trust your soul, live by fate.”
