Bobby Marcel Wilson (born February 27, 1980), better known by his stage name Bobby V (formerly Bobby Valentino), is an American singer, songwriter, and actor. He was first a member of the R&B group Mista in 1994, before signing to rapper Ludacris through his label imprint, Disturbing tha Peace under Def Jam Recordings in 2005. Bobby V's first single as a solo artist, "Slow Down", released in February 2005, peaked at number 8 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. The single was certified gold by the RIAA and became the lead single for his eponymous debut album (2005)—which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and had a follow-up single, "Tell Me" (featuring Lil Wayne).

His next album, Special Occasion was released in May 2007, and warranted success from its second single, "Anonymous", which was produced by and featured a guest appearance from producer Timbaland. He has charted three No. 1 albums on Billboard's U.S. Top R&B Chart since 2006.
