They Call Her VJ...
Welcome To The Wonderful World of Valerie-Jean Hume...
This is Valerie-Jean Hume...They call her "VJ". Come visit these pages about her career as a singer, musician, writer, model, actress, voice-over talent, and interview radio show hostess... After graduating from the University of Saskatchewan with a B.A. in Fine Arts, VJ headed to Toronto, Canada. There, she acted in musical comedy revues, movies, national radio theatre, and a worldwide TV serial, "Paul Bernard, Psychiatrist". She recorded audio books, acted in children's theatre, and became a puppeteer. Her interests expanded to modelling and journalism in radio and newspapers. VJ then combined all her experience by creating the first Professional Modelling course at any community college. Founded at Canada's Sheridan College, it produced "Miss Canada" finalists every year.
Since 1987 she has resided in Palm Springs, California !
VJ's dual careers in Music and Broadcasting
Although she was no stranger to the world of radio, having worked for CBC Network Canada and private stations, she returned to radio in September of 1988 with her own interview show, "VJ's CORNER".

VJ Welcomes you !
However, VJ left this life to follow her dream of a career in music. She mastered a rare and beautiful instrument, the Autoharp, and sings in ten languages. She travelled the world and worked on nine Cruise ships, becoming the first female ever to earn a Panamanian Lifeboat Commander Certificate.
She worked as entertainer, hostess, and Stargazing lecturer. While at sea, she recorded two albums; in Palm Springs she made three more, including a "big band" CD, "Valerie-Jean Salutes the Singers of the Second Millennium".
When she produced an instructional video teaching her secrets of playing the autoharp, the manufacturer named a line of autoharp after her: THE HUME HARP! The Autoharp is a mellow, rich-sounding 36-string instrument, and in her video VJ teaches you to play it even if you have no musical training! Her CD with it is "The Hume Harp".
VJ continues to perform, and in the following pages you'll see photos and read about her appearances--including Las Vegas! Also, you'll meet the beautiful "big" harps named Guinevere and Priscilla.
