Yvette always seems to be doing something in the line of
performance. From singing, jazz, blues, and gospel. More often than not, she’s
either doing one or any combination of the following: performing, singing, multi-media, and mentoring.
Holding a full plate in performing arts
and her torch held high, she shows no signs of letting her idea of being “keeper of the flame” die down. She was recently a part of the musical production All Night Strut! presented at Metro Stage www.METROSTAGE.com in Alexandria, VA, directed
by Atlanta’s own Tom Jones II. Yvette,
along with her cast members wowed the audience with their “high energy” song and dance interpretation of music
from the Prohibition and Harlem Renaissance periods.
Prior to the All Night Strut production, Yvette had been performing
Jazz in the Washington, DC area captivating her audience with the sounds of Traditional, Contemporary, and Smooth Jazz.
As if Jazz was not enough,
Yvette’s belief in the “All Power” of God has also placed her song in spirit in worship houses of the Washington, DC area as well. To God Be the Glory(My Tribute), How Great
Thou Art, I’m Pressing On, If I Can Help Somebody, and You’ll Never Walk Alone
are just a few of the songs she sends praise to for her existence as a creative artist.

Growing up in New
Orleans, Louisiana with strong traditional values.
I find it hard to call any other place “home”. New Orleans is deeply planted into every
fiber of my being. New Orleans is a part of every word I speak, every song
I sing, and everything I do. Bayou born and raised, blessed with this incredible
desire to perform and be as festive as I was brought up to be.

Saying “no” to any opportunity to share my talent has been the only difficulty that I
have encountered in my desire to be “a keeper of the flame”. I have been here in Washington, DC for over 10 years!!!
Time flies when life has amazing things in your horizons. I marvel at
the experience I’ve had here in DC, and look forward to the flowering of the precious seeds that have been planted!!!!
