Hey there, I’m Dr. José Valentino. I’m a serial-award-winning creative arts entrepreneur, composer, producer, university professor, scholar, researcher, and strategist.
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website! Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, academic, or visionary, I’m glad you’re here. This space is designed to connect with people who are passionate about excellence, creativity, and purpose. You’ll find a snapshot of the work I do across music, business, education, and innovation—and more importantly, how we might collaborate to bring your ideas to life.
If you’re looking for someone to produce your next album, compose a film score, deliver an exhilarating live performance, consult on your business or creative venture, or guide you in publishing your research or launching your career—I'm here for you. Let’s make something extraordinary together. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring how I can support your journey.
Be ruined for the ordinary and obsessed with the pursuit of wonder. That wonder is Jesus Christ.

With a career shaped by winning some of the world’s most prestigious honors in music performance, composition, and production—including Latin GRAMMY® Awards, EMMY® Awards, and Global Music® Awards—I’ve committed my life to creative excellence and intellectual leadership. My work includes scoring award-winning films, performing 1400+ concerts on six continents, and publishing over 190 peer-reviewed scholarly articles across disciplines.
As a tenured professor and founding program director of Music Business and Entrepreneurship at a Top 10 public university in the U.S., I also serve as faculty within several AAU-affiliated centers, including Arts, Migration, and Entrepreneurship; Undergraduate Research; Latin American Studies; and Music Education. These roles have positioned me to help shape the future of arts entrepreneurship and the global creative economy. I’m honored to bring that same passion, depth, and expertise to your next endeavor.
Much love,
