Take Van

Take Van

Take Van is the performing name of Vanessa Valdes, a South Florida artist from Florida whose work blends drum and bass and pop with indie pop sensibility and an alternative atmosphere. She works independently and develops her music through self-produced releases, shaping an approach that is guided more by feeling than by a fixed genre identity.

Her songs combine introspective writing with rhythmic, movement-led production. Across her catalogue, emotional detail sits alongside lively beats, giving the music a personal but direct quality. Tracks including In My Head, Daylight Blush, Time Goes By and My Attention show this balance through melodic songwriting and clear emotional focus.

Van’s sound also draws on contemporary pop and club-oriented production. She cites Charli xcx’s Brat as an influence on her approach to sharp textures, club energy and emotionally spare writing. She also points to Yeat’s atmospheric, club-focused tracks Nun I’d Change, 2093 and Forever Again as creative references, particularly for their immersive production and emphasis on mood. These influences shape a style that moves between kinetic energy and introspection.

Her six-track EP Letting U Go adds to an evolving body of work built around emotional contrast, forward motion and a self-directed artistic identity.
