Daphne Rubin-Vega

Daphne Rubin-Vega is a two-time Tony nominee who is best known for originating the role of Mimi on and off-Broadway in Johnathan Larson's rock musical "RENT". However, Daphne has been on the scene starting from her days in freestyle latin girl group Pajama Party.

After "RENT", Daphne released a string of hit dance singles including "When You Love Someone" and "I Found It". She recorded her first album "Souvenirs" which is only available on her official website due to the demise of the Mercury record label.

Daphne has appeared on and off-broadway numerous times over the years and later this year will star as Fantine in the new revival of "Les Miserables". In October 2006, she and her rock band DRV released "Redemption Songs", a collection of mostly-self written songs.
