His mother's decision to pursue work opportunities abroad in order to sustain their family played a pivotal role in contributing to Vales' holistic personal growth.
He has articulated a sense of appreciation for the constructive guidance provided by his maternal uncle, Hortencio Pereira, emphasizing that he has embraced significant values through their relationship.
In addition to his attendance at tiatr performances, Vales immersed himself in the traditional street plays known as Zomnivoile khell in his local village, further deepening his engagement with the cultural arts community during his youth.
In an era when transportation was more limited, Vales and his uncle undertook significant journeys from Sanvordem to Margao, a popular tiatr center, in order to witness performances.
[1] Vales has appeared in several Konkani VCD (Video Compact Disc) productions, including the films Vizmit directed by Arnold D'Costa, Stop it, Dog Chedde Dogui Redde, Vadoll etc.
As of October 2011, he stated that he intended to pursue this goal, but only after undergoing instruction and guidance from Konkani directors like Mario Menezes, John D' Silva, and Roseferns.
He views this versatility as a significant advantage, as this enables him to explore a wider range of professional opportunities overseas and showcase his talents through live shows in tiatrs.
[3] Later that same year, in December 2015, Vales was selected to appear in the tiatr (a form of Goan theater) titled Tuzo-l Dis Yetolo (Your Day Will Come), written by playwright Roseferns.
