Joel Valenski’s Forever: A vow of eternal love
The multi-talented Joel Valenski
By Shervin Belgrave
Kaieteur News – Trending on Guyana’s airwaves is Joel Valenki’s Forever, “a love song” with a twist. Not only are the lyrics powerful and deep but the rhythms that accompany his melodious voice is not what we are accustomed to hearing in a love song and that could be the reason why more people are gravitating to this Guyanese hit. Forever is a fusion of different beats and sounds, a mix of Bollywood, chutney, Soca and even a bit of R&B that turned-out to be a perfect blend produced by Joey2Koolproductions.
Speaking with this publication on Friday, the rising star and artiste, Joel Valenski said that the song was produced about a year ago but the music video was only recently released.

The video is about a week old and had brought life to the already trending song. It adds a deeper meaning to lyrics which Valenksi described as a vow of eternal love.
“A lot of times you are hearing the vow that either the man or woman say that they will love their partner forever”, he explained while adding “together they move the moon and stars for each other, anything one of them asks the other will do without question so it’s a little bit like a vow… but in poetry and musical form”.
He made it clear that at the time he and his producer, Joel Browne (Joey2KoolProduction) wrote Forever he was yet to find his eternal love but two weeks after the song was produced, he got a taste of Forever.
“I was doing a shoot and I looked onto my phone and one of my friends posted a girl and normally when I am doing shoots, I don’t check those things but I looked at the phone and I am like, ok, she was very beautiful, a very beautiful woman and yuh know it started we start talking and so forth so it was like love at first sight for me”, he recounted while reminiscing on his very own love story.
Valenski stopped short from saying if his love story inspired Forever’s music video but it depicts love at first sight and while narrating the video’s storyline, it was like he was journeying back to the day he had set eyes on the girl his friend had posted.
“So it’s basically like I lose myself I met the girl and for the first time I saw her it wasn’t planed, I was there doing my own thing she was there doing her own thing”, Valenski said as he explained the storyline of his music video.
He continued, “I wanted to get to know her which I proceeded to do and then as the story builds you can see that we get to know each other more and we started dating and then no matter what I do I always had her in my mind, sitting I am singing about her and while I am doing something, she is always on my mind… so it’s like love at first sight”.
Joel Valenski the church boy
Listening to Valenski speak about Forever was enough for this newspaper to recognize that he is a multi-talented rising star “hanging out” with the “right company”
Valenski’s musical career began at an early age. He was a church boy who played drums and later realized that he had magical voice to sing with his drums and other musical instruments.
He burst onto the scene as one of the winners of Guyana Talent Search.
Mentored by Joel Browne, and other successful Guyanese talents like Calvin Burnett and Faith Corrica, Joel Valesnki who hails from Mon- Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD) is now an artiste in demand and even represented Guyana at Carifesta XV held in Barbados last August.
He is a member of the Kaieteur Folk Group who recently performed at President Irfaan Ali’s Swearing in cermony.
Valenski has since performed at a number of major events, including the One Guyana Concert, Pageants, Republic and Independence Day events (Mashramani & Guyana Carnaval).
Valenski is not only a singer but also a model who placed in the top 3 of Mr. India Worldwide Guyana. His first ever single, Fovever, is streamed across all music platforms, like YouTube, Spotify, Tik Tok, Facebook and even Apple Tunes.
