Ven'nus

When asked in an interview about her stage name, Ven'nus, Valèria N. Saurí commented that she finds the planet Venus ""very funny because it is the only one in the solar system that orbits backwards"". Almost five years after starting her musical project during the pandemic, we can say that Ven'nus is orbiting in perfect company. This composer and producer, born in Sabadell at the turn of the millennium, is a perfect exponent of the new wave of Catalan pop. In fact, she has collaborated with Mushkaa, xicu and BALMA.

Together, they are creating homegrown sound codes, an irresistible kilometre-zero soundtrack, although it is easy to close your eyes and imagine Ven'nus collaborating with Oklou or Japanese Breakfast as well because, in a way, she inhabits the same space between reality and reverie as they do.

After El Naixement (2021) and Bocaterrosa (2023), Ven'nus is already looking ahead to her new album. She will present it on 6th March at La (2) de Apolo in Barcelona, accompanied by Jolly Damper, Néstor Pérez and Quim Mòdol. It will be a special event where sound and visuals will come together for the first live presentation of the album.
