'I can see, feel and taste sound'

Valeria is a 23-year-old musician and singer who has synaesthesia, meaning she can see colours and feel textures when she hears music.

She sees her favourite notes in shades of blue, and says they 'feel like a hug', while other notes can cause her discomfort and even pain.

Synaesthesia is a condition that causes the blurring of two or more senses.

Several notable artists and composers have claimed to have the condition, including Vincent van Gogh.
