Pro Dancer Val Chmerkovskiy Tells StarCam About Aspirations to be a Rapper

Most people know Val Chmerkovskiy for his grace, elegance and downright killer dance moves, but he’s got even more talent than what we see on Dancing with the Stars. The professional dancer is also a rapper/violinist!

“I was fortunate enough to have parents that kind of plugged me into many different outlets where I could showcase my talents and develop my talents,” he said.

Val has been writing, composing, singing and dancing since he was just a kid, so his music reflects his journey to where he is now. He also told StarCam’s Jennifer Tapiero that he’s a romantic guy, so he’s got some love songs in the mix as well.

“I was talking to…somebody big in the hip hop world and he mentioned something like ‘to be successful you gotta be the best liar,’ and I don’t necessarily agree with that,” said the DWTS pro. “I can’t get myself to write things that I don’t relate to or at least feel. Obviously there has to be some showmanship in your lyrics, but everything I write about is a reflection of how I feel or want to feel or have felt.”

Since Val has already made quite a name for himself in the dancing world and built some connections in the industry, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to anticipate a collaboration in the future. Ideally, he’d like to work with Damian Marley or Adele, but right now he wants to focus on establishing himself first. His brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, definitely played a role in his success in the dancing industry, so Val sees this as a great opportunity to seize something for himself.

“Everybody knows my brother and the road he’s kind of paved for me in the dance world, and even in the Dancing with the Stars world,” he said. “But music is something that is totally me and totally independent, and something that no one has anything to do with except for me. So, I’m excited about that because I get to claim that all on my own. “

Don’t worry DWTS fans! Val is not giving up dancing and plans to be on the show for Season 14. He’s hoping to have a few singles out by January and an album released sometime next year. Check out the full interview below.
