He is currently signed with Island Def Jam music imprint and is a member of Ludacris' Disturbing Tha Peace label. His first single, 2005's "Slow Down", from his self-titled debut album became a top 10 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, receiving a huge amount radio and TV airplay. In 2005, he also joined other R&B/hip-hop acts including Bow Wow and Omarion on the Scream 4 Tour. Valentino released a second single from his debut album titled "Tell Me". Bobby got the moniker "Valentino" because his parents expected him to be born on Valentine's Day, but he was born thirteen days later. Rumour has it that Bobby will shortly have to change his name, following threats of legal action from the UK violinist of the same name.[citation needed] His first single of his new album Special Occasion is titled "Turn The Page".
