Ms. Rubin-Vega is recognized for her singing as much as her acting. She was a member of the girl group Pajama Party; whose single "Yo No Se" was number One on the Billboard dance charts. They made two albums on Atlantic Records before Daphne began writing and recording solo singles for the indie dance label Maxi. DRV, as she likes to be known with her band, produced, performed and primarily wrote "Redemption Songs" (Sh-K-Boom) and has contributed to various musical projects, including her notorious version of "Feliz Navidad" for Broadway Cares and her club smash cover of "Rocketman".
