About Me

DC VALENTINE
Smart, Sexy, Electro Pop, with a Rock Edge
With an irresistable combination of edgy emotionally driven dance tracks and genuine heartfelt lyrics, DC Valentine bridges the gap between electronica, rock, pop, and hip-hop.
* * *
Performing and recording artist Buffy Marie founded DC Valentine in early 2006 with the intention of shattering current pop artist stereotypes and creating a sound and style that is as exciting as it is genuine. The result is a driving dance sound that crosses genre boundaries and delivers real emotional content with contagious hooks that stick.
From tracks that grab you with raw passion and energy like "Burn", to the organic and reflective feel of "Jamie", to the aggressive dance grooves of "Boy", the songs combine elements of rock, pop, dance, and hip-hop to create the distinctive sound and style that is DC Valentine.
