Valerie Dore is the stage name of Monica Stucchi, born on May 28, 1963, in Milan, Italy. Emerging from the vibrant Italo disco scene of the early 1980s, she first gained international recognition with the single "The Night" in 1984, which became a significant hit, not just in Italy but across Europe and beyond. The character Valerie Dore was initially portrayed by model Dora Carofiglio for public performances and album covers, while Stucchi provided the enchanting vocals that captivated audiences.

The enigmatic persona, built around the musical project Valerie Dore, has seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to a dedicated fan base and a newfound appreciation for Italo disco's nostalgic charm. With remastered versions of "The Night" and "Get Closer" breathing new life into the classics and remixes by modern DJs reinterpreting her sound for contemporary dance floors, Valerie Dore's music has successfully bridged the gap between the golden age of Italo disco and today's electronic music scene. Her collection titled "Greatest Hits & Remixes" serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of her music, which continues to inspire both listeners and artists around the globe.
