He is known as Bobby V-Tino in the United Kingdom due to a lawsuit involving a British musician who has been recording under the name Bobby Valentino since 1975.Bobby V was born Bobby Wilson on February 27, 1980, in Jackson, Mississippi. He later moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he attended North Atlanta High School. He later returned to his old high school appearing on the debut episode of MTV's Once Upon A Prom, which aired on May 19, 2007.Bobby entered the music scene in 1996 as a member of the R&B youth quartet Mista, at this time using his real name, Bobby Wilson.
Under the production of Organized Noize (TLC’s "Waterfalls"), the group released their self-titled debut album, which produced the chart topping single, "Blackberry Molasses." Unfortunately, the album didn't follow in the same success and despite a second album being produced by Tim & Bob, it was never released. Due to management issues the group split in 1997. Bobby later enrolled at Clark Atlanta University majoring in Mass Communications. Many believe V pledged Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc, though this is not true. While in school, Bobby continued to record in his free time in hopes of one day returning to the stage. In the spring of 2002 he auditioned for season one of American Idol, but didn't make the cut.
Armed with three albums of demos, he set out to pursue his music career dream. The demos reached Puff Daddy who then forwarded them onto Ludacris and Disturbing Tha Peace president Chaka Zulu, and "the rest is history" as Bobby says. Soon after being signed as the first R&B artist on Disturbing Tha Peace Records, Bobby was featured on the hit single "Pimpin' All Over the World," off of Ludacris' multi-platinum selling album The Red Light District in 2004.
Bobby V will be releasing his fourth studio album Fly on the Wall and the first single released is "Stilletos & T-shirt" which features rapper, Nicki Minaj and was produced by FATBOI. The album is expected to be released in the spring of 2010. On the upcoming album Bobby V says:
“ I’m going on my fourth album and I’ve been a solo artist for five years and now I have my own label Blu Kollar Dreams and it’s just a blessing and a constant grind.
