Valentina Ploy is a singer-songwriter of mixed Italian and Thai parents who was born and raised in Italy. She first captured the public’s attention when she became a runner-up in Miss Universe Thailand 2018 and grew her fame when she released multiple singles with What the Duck starting from 2019 onwards. Today, she has amassed nearly 40 million streams on Spotify and has charted in Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam and is fluent in Thai, Italian, English, French, German and Spanish.

Karl Kongkham, Managing Director of Warner Music Thailand, continued: “Valentina has already proven herself to be a popular and impactful star in Thailand. Together with Warner Music Asia, we will work with What the Duck to continue to grow her fan base here at home, while plugging into Warner Music’s wide network in Asia and beyond, to enable this Thailand-based artist to become a truly international star.”


“We are delighted to announce the signing of Valentina to Warner Music Asia. An extremely talented musician, she represents the new generation of singer-songwriters in Asia. The styles and themes of her music, and the range of languages that she can sing in, allow her to reach an incredibly wide audience with her songs. We look forward to bringing her sound to music lovers across the globe. And it’s a great way to launch our partnership with What the Duck, a real pioneer in the Thai music scene.”

Valentina will be putting out her hotly anticipated single “Bla Bli Blu” as her first official release with Warner Music. It will be available on all major DSPs from 28 April 2022.
