Velvet

Velvet“Fix Me” is the new smash club and radio hit from Swedish phenomena Velvet. When last years pan-European hit “Mi Amore” included R&B elements and latin flavours this new production is a bona fide pop/club/house anthem that will move clubs and radio waves all over Europe. In her native Sweden Velvet could see the single being added on all key radio well before it was properly served to radio. The reaction from club dj:s has also been overwhelming. “Fix Me” is the first step in a scheme that later in the year will be followed by Velvet’s second album.
Velvet, i e Jenny Pettersson, was born and raised in the southern Sweden city of Helsingborg. As a teenager she moved to Stockholm to study at The Ballet Academy to become a professional dancer. During her student years, she was working as an singer/entertainer at Stockholm nightclubs. Jenny soon began to prioritise singing. Through the years, Jenny has done a large number of backing vocal jobs for prestigious domestic acts like Carola and E-Type but she also has in her curriculum vitae a maybe surprising name in US rock crooner Meatloaf.
Through the winter of 2005/2006 Velvet kick-started her solo career with the singles “(Rock Down To) Electric Avenue” ( a club take on the Eddy Grant reggae classic) and “Don’t Stop Movin’” (originally be UK act Livin’ Joy). Both became huge club and radio hits all over mainland Europe. In 2006 she also released her first album “Finally”.
