Valarijex is an Australian EDM artist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist who performs various electronic genres uniquely and seamlessly blends them into one DJ mix.
“My approach to my sets is from the perspective of an instrumentalist rather than a DJ. DJ has become almost a dirty word now; it feels limiting. I play live sets for the freedom to experiment. Much like a Jazz musician craves the space to improvise, I crave the moment where I can add layers and textures to surprise and reinvent what someone might be expecting when listening to a live mix.”
Valarijex’s family immigrated to New Zealand when he was 18 months old and then relocated to Australia when he was 10. At eight years of age, Valarijex picked up his first guitar and felt a moment of relief and joy for the first time.
