Having forged a unique and exciting path to make her way through the entertainment industry - singer, guitarist, and acrobat Ariel Bellvalaire has chosen 2024 as the year when she finally unleashes the full power of her solo artistry. Here’s an insight into why Ariel’s new single, ‘Til The Clock Strikes,’ is every bit as brilliant as her fanbase anticipated.
Rising star Ariel Bellvalaire has shared her newest single, ‘Til The Clock Strikes,’ with the world and announced the news about her upcoming debut EP.
Ariel is a renowned guitarist and singer based in LA. Over the past ten years, she has made a major impact on the music industry and the performing world in general.
In the music world, Ariel’s first big break came when she performed on Broadway in 2014, playing guitar in New York City for a special tribute show to Prince.
Following the acclaim she earned from this performance, Ariel moved to LA. There, she took on various roles - furthering her career and working with numerous other artists and industry figures. Some of the weird and wonderful moments from this era included Ariel getting booked for lead roles playing guitar in commercials such as GMC; Ariel landing a role as the face of KIA's iconic national 2016 campaign, appearing as the electric guitar-playing hamster; and Ariel becoming the guitarist in the national commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken, alongside country star Reba McEntire.
She then took part in several prominent international tours, including performing as a guitarist for “I Am King”—The Michael Jackson Experience, the Guns N’ Roses tribute band Paradise Kitty, and Drag The Musical (which featured many of the contestants on Ru Paul’s Drag Race). She was also the guitarist for renowned singer-songwriter Debbie Gibson.
At every turn in her career - including her recent touring success - Ariel has won fans over thanks to her fiery stage presence and virtuoso guitar playing. She is meticulous, creative, and entirely in control of her chosen instrument, meaning that her fanbase includes everyone from seasoned guitar aficionados to casual music lovers.
Ariel has picked 2024 to show the world how incredible she is as a solo star. Her first single of the year, ‘Til the Clock Strikes,’ is an energetic pop-rock anthem with lyrics about not being rushed or pushed by the industry when it comes to making music that you want to be truly proud of for the future.
Explaining the meaning behind the song, Ariel said, “This song goes out to anyone who is sick of other people’s timelines and expectations put on them. You are amazing, and everything will happen when it’s meant to.”
The message is decidedly essential and rings true, considering that Ariel’s upcoming debut EP features many of the best songs she’s ever recorded…
‘Til The Clock Strikes’ is out now. Ariel’s debut EP ‘ARIEL’ is available for exclusive download before it goes to streaming, and her next single, ‘Satellite’ will be released on April 19. Please find the full details on her social media pages.
