Line 22: ==Music== Velvet was discovered in 2005 and signed with [[Bonnier Amigo Music Group]]. She stated that she came up with the name "Velvet" on her own after receiving what she referred to as "bad suggestions" from her record company. She settled on "Velvet" because she wanted to pick something that suited her and that she could stand for.<ref name="radiointerviewflorida" /> Velvet soon released her first single, "Rock Down To (Electric Avenue)" (with chorus from 1980s song "[[Electric Avenue (song)\|Electric Avenue]])", which was a big hit in Sweden and internationally. The single, still frequently played in clubs across Sweden, reached number one in the Swedish Dance Charts for 22 weeks. Her follow-up single, "Don't Stop Movin'", was also popular and was followed by a tour. Line 33: Later in August she released her fifth single, "Chemistry", it being the only one of her singles to chart in Finland. Alongside her singing career, Velvet has also worked as a show producer for several Christmas galas around Sweden, where she has also taken part as an artist. In 2008 Velvet again took part in Melodifestivalen with the song "Deja Vu". Even though she received great reviews, as well as the song, she was knocked out in one of the semi-final rounds not even making the final. This was Velvet's second attempt to represent Sweden in the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. "Deja Vu" was her most successful song in Sweden, but was her only single to not chart anywhere else but there. After a strong presence in the UK club music scene for several years, "Fix Me" was officially released on 11 August 2008. Later that month, Velvet also released her new single "Take My Body Close", which reached No. 8 in Sweden and No. 14 in Poland.
