Andra Day Opener Desi Valentine Releases Single "My Worst Enemy," Announces Tour With Vintage Trouble

Desi Valentine made his mark opening for "Rise Up" songstress Andra Day, now the London-born singer has stepped out into the spotlight with a new single "My Worst Enemy."

The track was written about unrequited desire and what it’s like to feel like you don’t have control over yourself. The track was inspired by the time in Desi’s career where he had a song on the top of the digital charts but was struggling to make rent - and the dichotomy of being at rock bottom while experiencing major success. The song hugs to the darker spectrum of what Desi does songwriting wise, but retains his signature catchy soulfulness.

The song that catapulted Desi to the top of the digital charts was “Fate Don’t Know You.” It debuted on the Spotify Viral 50 chart in the UK, Canada, Australia, Sweden and the Netherlands. On Shazam the song debuted in the Top 20 on the Future Hits charts in the U.S., U.K. Australia and in the top 100 in the Global chart, and on iTunes the track debuted in the Top 100 in the UK. 

Growing up in London, Desi honed his musical chops performing on the West End and working as a backup vocalist for Sir Elton John and Leona Lewis. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Desi dove deep into songwriting and his songs started to appear on notable film/TV programs such as Daredevil (Netflix),   Lucifer (FOX)  Queen Sugar (OWN) A Girlfriends Guide to Divorce (BRAVO), as well as advertising campaigns with FitBit, Toyota and NY&CO.  Despite becoming a master songwriter, it’s performing and connecting with a live audience that is Desi’s first true love. Desi has played festivals such as SXSW and Bumbershoot, last year supported Andra Day on her U.S. tour and will be supporting Vintage Trouble in the U.S. this fall. Peep tour dates HERE.
