Valencia Giles is a passionate music educator, successful entrepreneur, and dedicated community leader who expertly balances a thriving business with family life and impactful mentorship. As the founder and director of the Lawrenceville-Suwanee School of Music, Valencia built a debt-free business from the ground up since 2009, starting with just $5,000 borrowed from family.

After having the opportunity of getting to know Valencia both as a person and business professional, I was extremely impressed and inspired by Valencia’s story of how she overcame many challenges earlier in her career. In spite of these challenges, Valencia was able to open the Lawrenceville School of Music with only just a few students. As of 2026, Valencia now has multiple locations with over 1,200 students and has made and continues to make a significant impact within the community! Valencia has inspired me to continue to serve and help others as well! Continued blessings and success Valencia!
