If you know me, you know what this moment means. After I shot my first music video on a canon T3I in 2016, I said to myself that I’d work with Travis Scott one day, who I consider one of the most legendary artists. I didn’t know how but I believed it would happen. 2024, I directed a video for @asakemusic ft. @travisscott ! I say this piece of my story as a reminder to dream and work towards those dreams. Be delusional but put in the work. Thank you @edgaresteves & @blanksquareproductions for trusting me to be apart of this and always giving me a platform to grow, learn, and consistently push me to be better than I was yesterday. @asakemusic whenever we link up, magic is always made. I’m thankful for you and the light you spread into this world with your art. So many beautiful creatives came together to make this happen and now it belongs to the world!

| Directed by Joshua Valle. | As I look back on the journey I can’t help but feel so many emotions, yet gratitude overpowers them all. I remember the moment I knew I wanted to create visuals and envying anyone that was creating “high quality images” because no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn’t get close to that “quality”. One day I let go and focused on sharpening my sword & years later I’m in awe of the body of work I’ve been blessed to create alongside so many talented people. 21 year old me wouldn’t believe my name is at the end of this but here we are. I couldn’t see it in the moment but every closed door, every helping hand, the countless No’s, the sleepless nights & fights with self doubt all molded the spirit I step forward in today. To anyone that has ever trusted my vision, supported me in any way(big or small), gave me guidance when I needed it most, or worked alongside me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The creative process has become something spiritual to me and I put a piece of my soul in everything I touch. Though everything seems perfect through social media, I write all this to share with you a small part of my story. The highs are just as beautiful as the lows and I understand it more & more as I look back. My favorite thing about it all is that I’m just getting started. I share with you my peace. 🌹 #DirectedbyJoshuaValle #TheMarathonContinues

As I dive deeper into building a closer relationship with myself & understanding the parts of me that were left in the dark, I find myself connecting to thoughts that I have always known, yet I finally understand. Social media has become a tool to share my work, and random thoughts here and there but what is my art without the soul behind it? I’m thankful to have a brother like @kevin.creates who not only pushes me creatively but pushes me spiritually. On this night we were editing a project and he happened to have his camera and a card game that asked questions about self love. I’m never one to be excited about being in front of the camera, always behind, but what’s growth without discomfort? Again. “Just try it.” To know something and to understand something are two different concepts. This is a moment of understanding. I post this not for me but for someone that may need to hear this because I needed to hear this that night. I just wrapped a four day shoot of one of my favorite projects to be apart of all 2024 & as im sitting here typing this message, i’m just thankful to be alive to experience this moment of clarity. Thankful for each breath. I share with you my peace. 🌹 #ARTISFOREVER

“Lost myself and I found my purpose. Yeah everyday I know that I am blessed.” ♾️ Behind the scenes moments from the set of “MMS” @asakemusic ft. @wizkidayo @blanksquareproductions Photos captured by @shadouco members @solarize.visuals @thiagoirasumah @enrico.pisano_ @zinolens @shotbydh_ #lifeisallaboutunderstanding

This video starts and ends with God. In a world of chasing success and weighed down by distractions, we often forget to pause and appreciate our own journey. The idea of freezing everyone reflects how I sometimes feel set apart, even though we’re all human. Some are gifted with the power to influence others, and with that comes the responsibility to lead with purpose, to unite. @asakemusic x @wizkid “MMS” Official Music Video Out Now! ◻️ @blanksquareproductions Director(s) @edgaresteves @vilchinskii @joshuavallecr Executive Producer US @edgaresteves @richiealmshouse Executive Producer UK @nadya_reps Creative Direction @walterbanks_ US Production @blanksquareproductions London Production @creativs_label Supervising Producer @richiealmshouse Producer UK @producerlonge Production Manager @sharb.91 Production Coordinator @c____v____p DOP @thehenrygill 1st AD @samuelcharles 2nd AD @maximjelliot 1st AC (A) @onur.oezden 1st AC (B) @mustafa_misirkafa 2nd AC @denizchels Steadicam @benjamineeley Camera Trainee @dgunesli 3rd AD @komanche.dj Post Company @digitalsword_        Post Production Supervisor @joanpabon_ Editor @moritzgiesl Color Company @rascalstudio_ Color Producer @jaimhachdurban Colorist @danmaxlevy Film Services @cinelabuk CG studio @lustrafx VFX Supervisor @valentine.global CG coordinator sasha_vukovich Art Director @thejoemunro Art Assists @joshuahoooper @cali2times @uki_yo_e @bill._munro @zeptit Gaffer @mary___kale Spark @lukeahalstead Spark @davidzrolko Trainee Spark - @edmund.bishopp MUA @patriciahytonen Crane Technician @loumatech1 Key Grip - @johnnydonne Grip @griptate69 Production Assistant @Jrdn.ldn Runners @mia.anne.collins @laurencr.moon @sonnygreaneyfilm @pan.poznyak VFX Supervisor - @cgl_ceo BTS via @shadouco: @enrico.pisano_ @solarize.visuals @shotbydh_ Fernandes Sato Casting @liviarosejohnson Theresa Victor via @multiimedia / @maxalan._ via marvellouslastnight Security @sharp_security Camera @emmyland Lighting @blundellstudios Location @ark_creatingspaces Production Vehicles @on.the.move.otm @stevewagons Set Vehicles @classichiring @plugsauceuk @hmlswrld Catering @mamajayskitchen

Moments frozen in time with @roses_are_rosie 🌹 #shotonpolaroid

A return to self. As I enter a new era of my life and reflect on the year I had I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. I’m thankful for the highs & I’m thankful for the lows. 28 has been one of the best years of my life, and 28 has been one of the worst years of my life mentally. Through the year I’ve been in a dark place and I’m thankful to say that I made it through the darkness. I’m thankful for the clarity that awaited me on the other side. To anyone that ever held a safe space for me, checked on me, and was just there for me, I am forever thankful of you. I’m stubborn and I will take on the world by myself if I have to but I was reminded that I’m not alone. You know who you are. Mental health is real. Burn out is real. I recently started therapy and my god I did not know the weight I was carrying on myself. Everyday I strive to be the best version of myself so I’m thankful I did. The wrong decision is indecision. Check on your strong friends. Check in on yourself. Inner peace is more important than the race of life. Be kind to everyone. Be kind to yourself. Keep your head up high & remember that you belong in every room. Trust yourself. Trust God. Stand tall. Keep striving to be the best version of yourself. Spiritually. Mentally. Physically. Forgive and let go. It’s okay to ask for help. Your journey is your journey. Keep going. As a fellow legendary Virgo ,Kobe, once said : “Forgive my Venting but what’s the purpose of social media if I won’t bring it to you Real No Image?” My soul is at peace. My heart is at peace. I’ve never felt more alive. I’m present. When you talk to me, you are talking to Joshua Valle. Clarity. I was able to bring in my birthday out in Palm Springs with people that I truly cherish. Stillness filled my soul. Stillness is a gift. I’m excited for what this new chapter of life will bring. The art I will make and the memories to come. I’m not perfect. I don’t have it all figured out but one thing I will do is try. Keep trying. And try try again. All we can ever do is try. This time around I trust myself. Keep going. Be the best you you can ever be. Fuck the noise. The heart knows. I share with you my peace. 🌹♍️♾️ #NEVERLETAHARDTIMEHUMBLEUS
