VALKIJA was founded in 1999. Nikoll Jhon and Zoraija joined forces with respectively the bassplayer and the guitarist. Then we called at arms with our former drummer Alex Scarlata, with whom we recorded our demo and performed live for a couple of years. At the same time we hired guitarist, Marco di Grazia, who kindly collaborated with us. They both quit VALKIJA for musical reasons, but even today they still remained good friends of ours. We found Sebastian Hamm shortly afterwards, who became our steady drummer.
