DC: Hello Valentine, thanks for talking to DC. Tell us what your sound is all about.
Valentine: Erm, my sound is quite soulful. I would say it is quite different but I have been compared to R Kelly because of my vocals.

DC: What artists would you say influence your music?
Valentine: One of the artists is R Kelly. My biggest inspiration is Michael Jackson, Usher is another, Whitney Houston as well as Brandy and Omarion.

DC: Who is Valentine, the person?
Valentine: I am a singer songwriter and street dancer. I am a loveable person, smiley and cheerful, easygoing and a chatterbox! I believe God comes first before anything else. I am all about preaching love and its importance. The main happiness in life is based on love.

DC: Why did you go into music?
Valentine: I went into music because I have always been drawn to it from a young age. I started with dancing and then moved to singing.

DC: Which artists would you love to work with?
Valentine: I would love to work with R Kelly and Usher.

DC: Talk to us about your new single. What is the title and what is it about?
Valentine: The single is called “Angel in my Dream”. It is a poetic love song, with an easy melody. It explains that there is always a special person sent to you by God and sometimes our dreams could reflect our desires in reality.

DC: Who wrote the song?
Valentine: I wrote this song and I do write all of my songs.

DC: Do you think it is important for musicians to write their own songs?
Valentine: It is definitely important because of royalties! A songwriter will make more money from a song they wrote than you the singer who sings the song.

DC: What do you hope for in 2010?
Valentine: I want a lot more exposure to my music next year so I intend on going onto the X Factor to give myself that exposure.

DC: How do you plan on spending Christmas?
Valentine: Eating and drinking a lot with my family!
