Bobby V

obby Wilson (Known as Bobby Valentino) was born in Jackson, Mississippi but raised in Atlanta. Bobby started his career in the music industry at a young age by forming the group Mista with a group of friends. The Boyz II Men-styled group had a hit in 1996 with the single "Blackberry Molasses" but 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 decided to split and the members decided to go their separate ways. Despite the short-lived success of the group Bobby still believes it wasn't a bad experience but a "learning experience".
