Valentina Zapata (they/them) is a Los Angeles illustrator and lead singer of the band Yungatita. They recently graduated with a BFA in illustration from Cal State Long Beach. In between school, they have been touring and creating music with the band. Most recently, Yungatita had virality on TikTok with their song “7 Weeks & 3 Days”, but had a similar experience on SoundCloud years prior. We sat with Valentina before they go on tour in September and release a new project.

We spoke with Valentina about their journey through college, love for learning, virality, and how music has helped them confront life.

Thank you Valentina for joining us, we hope you all enjoy this conversation!
