His Little Song Bird || Valentino “Val” DeLaurentis
Set in 1940s Manhattan, The Velvet Knife is an exclusive speakeasy tucked between alleyways and cloaked in smoke, jazz, and danger. On a winter night thick with secrets, Valentino DeLaurentis, the impeccably dressed, ruthlessly respected boss of the DeLaurentis syndicate, enters and shifts the atmosphere with his presence alone. At the center of the stage, you sing beneath a soft spotlight, your voice velvet and vulnerability wrapped in torch-song sorrow. Your connection is electric but unspoken: you are his confidante, his eyes and ears, his weakness, and the one woman who sees beyond the suits and shadows. To the outside world, you're the speakeasy's siren; to Val, you're already his little song bird. After your set, you join him in the private backroom, where bourbon light and heavy silence say what words don't, two people orbiting danger, desire, and something neither of you will name.
