The rise of digital platforms like TikTok and Instagram has given countless people a greater shot at finding success. However, while the prominence of these sites may have played a role in the extent to which many of today’s well-known personalities have gained massive popularity and reached incredible heights, it is still their dedication, ambition, and passion that should be credited. Cemo Basen, the voice behind the standout debut album Love Valley, brought to the table not only his deep-seated love for music but also an awe-inspiring level of grit and hard work when he pivoted careers and entered the highly competitive music scene.
An influencer and model, Cemo Basen is not a new face to the limelight, having secured a position under the spotlight and connected with fans worldwide. But, given his interest in music, it was not a surprise when the highly driven figure eventually made the decision to dip his toes in the music industry.
From the beginning, Cemo Basen has held onto the dream of releasing an album. Finally, he has translated that into reality by dropping Love Valley, a seven-track project that showcases his chops as an artist and gives listeners a glimpse of his potential as a standout musician in the years to come.
Admittedly, delving into an entirely new world was no easy feat for Cemo Basen. Not only is the music scene saturated, but it is also merciless, most especially to new entrants wishing to make their mark. Yet, through it all, he remained steadfast, clinging to the long-held vision he had wanted to materialize, expending intensive effort, and pouring his heart into composing tracks that introduce who he is as an artist.
After a week-long tease on his social media accounts, Love Valley hit all major platforms in September, which explains the singer’s noticeable absence from the DC Fashion Week. Usually a mainstay on the runway, the rising star was in Las Vegas instead, gracing stages and shows at the city’s top venues.
Now available on Apple iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, and more, Love Valley by Cemo Basen features songs that cross various genres, from trance and synth-pop to downtempo. Additionally, it includes a track that speaks of the pain he’s gone through in a previous relationship – a pain that resonates with many others.
With his debut album, Love Valley, Cemo Basen has managed to show that he has more aces up his sleeves. More than anything else, the rising star has made it clear, as well, that he will never be boxed within the confines of a single genre and a blind follower of trends. Despite the traction that jumping on the hype train allows musicians, he is set about distinguishing himself apart and making a name through his own distinctive artistry.
In the years to come, Cemo Basen hopes to expand his reach and create songs that will hit home hard among listeners. Looking forward to carving a path toward the forefront of the music scene, he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
