| Hello, and welcome to this edition
of Yvette’s biography. I’m your host, Yvette Marine Barlowe,
and for the next few minutes, I’ll be taking you through some
of the highlights of my career. So sit back and relax. Here we go!
Born in Southern California, and raised
in the San Fernando Valley, I’m a true Valley girl at heart,
although I’ve been told I have an exotic look. I owe that
to my mom who is African American and American Indian and my dad
who is Spanish and Mexican. From an early age, I realized the power
of the camera and of entertainment. I started out as a kid singing
in choruses on different TV shows and commercials, movie specials
and soundtracks. But I got my biggest break when Rick James named
me “Corvette” for his group, “The Mary Jane Girls.”
We had a top 10 hit called In My House. You can see the neon colors
and big hair on my website, yvettebarlowe.com, or www.themaryjanegirls.net,
the official Mary Jane Girls website.
After touring with “The Mary Jane Girls,”
I became a background singer for a number of recording artists and
successful songwriters including Diane Warren and Denise Rich. For
a while I even pursued a solo career. But it wasn’t until
five years ago that I realized my true passion: talking to people,
sharing information, and ultimately bringing it to viewers. Initially,
I did it through my public access show called “In the Mix
with Yvette.” Now, I’m ready for anything!
While I still sing, I’m more particular about
the projects. Like with everything I do, I look for something that
truly piques my interest, something where I can collaborate with
others. That’s where the true connection comes into play.
Connection is actually one of my favorite words.
From supporting the entertainment community by regularly attending
red carpet premiers, awards shows and more, connecting is what I
do. It keeps my finger on the pulse of what’s happening.
And yet… despite my passion for entertainment,
nothing compares to the happiness I feel when it comes to being
the mother of Remington and Rylie, and to being married to my best
friend, Rick, for 14 years. Our perfect day: hanging out together
on a private beach or “hosting” friends and family at
our home in… the Valley.
See? Still a Valley girl at heart!

And remember: Always live life to the fullest!
