Shay Valenz, also known as SV, is a Bay Area CHH artist. A Nor Cal and Bay Area native, SV first began his foray into music as a rapper and producer in the late 90s and early 2000s to mild success in the local music scene.
However, SV saw his life radically transformed in the late 2010s when he heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He became a believer and servant of Christ, burdened to see others come to know and love Jesus as their savior. This lead to partnering with a street evangelism team from his church, and going to the streets to tell others about Christ.
In his talks with young people it seemed that discussions about music opened up the most conversations about Christ. Knowing that the tracts he would give them were simply getting thrown into garbage cans, and having his love and creativity for rap reignited as a creative expression to praise Christ, SV partnered with several brothers from his local church also interested in CHH to form ECMHH, Exalting Christ Music Hip Hop, and to produce ECM volumes 1, 2, and 3. These albums were given out free of charge on the streets of the Bay Area as part of their street evangelism ministry and as digital downloads.
SV is now venturing out on his own. His latest singles are a solo project with the same heart and goal: to exalt and magnify Christ, to proclaim the gospel, and to build up and encourage fellow believers through CHH.
