Couple Valerie Gribusova and Vlad Pashkevich are the duo behind VAL.

They are an eclectic pair who like to experiment with house, R&B, pop and hip-hop styles of music, combined with vogue and fashion.

Since they launched first single Кто ты есть (Who Are You), the couple has pushed the boundaries of their music and performances.

Lead singer, songwriter and dancer Valerie Gribusova previously competed in The Voice of Ukraine and won the singing competition Slavic Bazaar.

Her partner in music and love, Vlad Pashkevich is a music producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose production studio ToneTwins produced Belarus’ Eurovision 2017 entry Story Of My Life by Naviband.

What is Belarus’s Eurovision 2020 song called?

VAL will be singing Da Vidna, which means "Until Dawn". The lyrics send a rousing and enlightening testament to love and traversing through darkness and solitude to brightness and intimacy.

Where did Belarus come in last year’s Eurovision?

Belarus only finished in 24th position with 31 points, meaning VAL have got their work cut out for them.

The nation has only been competing in Eurovision since 2004. Its best placing was sixth in 2007, with the song Work your Magic, performed by Dmitry Koldun.
