Early life
Emmich was born in Manalapan, New Jersey. He is of Italian, Russian, and German ancestry. He attended Manalapan High School where he played soccer. At age 15, he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and had to give up all strenuous activities. During this time, he learned to play the guitar and began to write songs. In 2001, Emmich and fellow musician Andy Gesner founded Artist Amplification, a program to help independent musicians and bands gain exposure to fans and the music industry.
Musical career
While attending Rutgers University, Emmich performed with various bands, including Awake Asleep and Ben Trovato. His first band's name was Superband, and he got a demo into the hands of Andy Gesner, then promoting with New Brunswick Underground. Gesner put off listening to the demo because of the band's name, but put it in on a flight, and was hooked, starting their music collaboration. Superband changed names to Ben Trovato, and released one album. Emmich then formed a new band, Awake Asleep, with Gesner on Bass, releasing one album.

The Fifteen Minute Relationship - EP
by: Val EmmichI don't have a hard timeBelieving this
Cause I saw it coming
From a great distance
And I guess the saying is true
It was too good to be true
I was not in love with you
Well, ok
If it's over
Then it's got to end
Don't call me
We can't be friends
I don't want to smell
What I can no longer taste
I don't want you
In my face
Don't talk
Don't try to console me
Cuz I'd much rather
Try to convince myself
That you do not even exist
So I don't slash my wrists
With the thought of you taking off
Leaving me dead
If it's over
Then it's got to end
Don't call me
We can't be friends
I don't want to smell
What I can no longer taste
I don't want you
In my face
If it's over
Then it's got to end
Don't call me
We can never be friends
Never never be friends
Never never be friends
Never never be friends
No way, no way, no way
No hope, no hope, no hope, no hope, no hope, no hope,
no hope
No more
It's over
We're over
No more
It's over
We're over
