Velvet, born Jenny Marielle Pettersson on November 5, 1975, in Helsingborg, Sweden, is a Swedish dance-pop and Europop singer who has enjoyed a vibrant career in the European music scene. Velvet's rise to fame started with her 2005 debut single "Rock Down To (Electric Avenue)," which was followed by a series of club-friendly tracks that carved out a niche for her in the dance music genre. She is known for her energetic performances and catchy melodies, which often feature a blend of pulsating electronic beats and infectious hooks.

Over the years, Velvet has released a slew of singles and remixes that have made an impact on dance charts, particularly in her native Sweden and throughout Europe. Her cover of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" speaks to her talent for reimagining classic hits with a modern twist, appealing to both nostalgia and contemporary dancefloors.
