Early Life and Education

Roque Valero Pérez was born on January 31, 1974, in Caracas, Venezuela, to Roque Valero and Rosario Pérez. An only child, he began his artistic training with acting classes and participation in the National Youth Orchestra of Lara.

Back in Caracas, he studied Social Communication (Journalism) at Andrés Bello Catholic University while attending acting workshops with instructors like Ricardo Lombardi, Adda Noceti, and Santiago Sánchez.

His mestizo Venezuelan heritage, blending European and Indigenous roots, and upbringing in a Christian-influenced environment have shaped his cultural outlook and public values.

Career

Roque Valero Pérez ignited his artistic fire in the 1990s, debuting on stage at seven in the school production El Día del Médico and landing his first professional theater role at 19 in Oscar Mendoza Herrera’s La Mano with Caracas’s Contrajuego troupe, followed by spots in Grupo Actoral 80 and the National Theater Company.

Television beckoned in 1995 with guest roles in Venevisión’s Ilusiones and A Todo Corazón, but his breakthrough arrived in 2002 with the lead in Luis Manzo’s film La Pluma del Arcángel, a critical darling that swept awards at festivals in Bogotá, Cartagena, and Miami.

That momentum carried into music, where his 2004 debut album Cae el Amor—fueled by the telenovela tie-in Vengo a Contar Contigo for Sabor a Ti—snagged gold and platinum status, topping Venezuelan charts for months and establishing him as a fresh voice in Latin pop with its blend of acoustic introspection and rhythmic warmth.

The mid-2000s propelled Valero into a golden stretch of multimedia success, starring as the brooding composer Cachito in the hit telenovela Cosita Rica (2004), where his original themes Nuestra Historia and Ando de Puntillas became instant anthems.

His sophomore release Todo Va a Salir Bien (2006) doubled down on platinum sales, coinciding with his star turn as Juan Lobo in Ciudad Bendita, for which he penned and performed the title track alongside Cuando Te Miro, earning rave reviews for his dual role as singer and leading man.

Acting accolades piled on with a best actor win at Havana’s International Festival for Elia Schneider’s Punto y Raya (2004) opposite Édgar Ramírez, plus the Teatro Municipal Award, while international tours opened doors—he joined Franco De Vita’s U.S. and Colombian run, hitting Madison Square Garden, and shared stages with Jorge Drexler, Luis Fonsi, and Voz Veis.

Albums like Pasajeros en Tránsito (2008) and the 2010 compilation Insomnio kept his romantic ballads flowing, soundtracking shows like La Vida Entera with duets such as No Soy Nada alongside Yordano.

Roque Valero Pérez pivoted to politics in 2015 as a United Socialist Party candidate, securing a deputy seat for Aragua in the National Assembly from 2016 to 2019, where he championed cultural policies amid tense opposition dynamics.

His influence deepened in the 2017 Constituent National Assembly, and by 2019, he took the helm as president of the National Center for Autonomous Cinematography, fostering Venezuelan film amid economic strains.

Re-elected as deputy in 2021 for Aragua’s Circuit 4, he balances legislative duties with occasional performances, including a memorable 2008 turn as Leo Bloom in Mel Brooks’ The Producers musical at Universidad Central de Venezuela’s Aula Magna. His legacy spans sold-out concerts in Ecuador and Venezuela, over a dozen telenovela themes, and advocacy for artists’ rights, inspiring a generation to see entertainment and governance as intertwined paths to national pride.
