Valerie Ponzio

Valerie Ponzio is a country singer-songwriter with Texas roots and a vibrant multicultural flair, hailing from El Paso. Known for her powerhouse vocals and genre-blending sound, she mixes traditional country with Tejano and Latin influences, reflecting her border-town upbringing. Ponzio gained national attention as a contestant on Season 16 of *The Voice*, where she joined John Legend’s team and won over audiences with her soulful covers and original storytelling. Her music—like the gritty "Frontera" or the playful "Mister Golden Hair"—often celebrates her Mexican-American heritage while tackling themes of love, resilience, and life along the U.S.-Mexico border.

With releases like "Just a Bordertown" and "My America," she crafts anthems that feel both personal and universal, blending twangy guitars with infectious rhythms. Whether she’s paying homage to Selena with a heartfelt cover of "I Could Fall in Love" or delivering cheeky bops like "Bad Guy," Ponzio’s music radiates warmth and authenticity. Offstage, she’s a dynamic live performer who thrives on connecting with crowds, proving that her voice is as big as her Texas spirit.
