About Barbie Almalbis

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL." THIS YOUNG, PRETTY, PETITE AND TALENTED LASS, YVETTE BARBARA 'BARBIE' ALMALBIS, GREW AND SPENT MOST OF HER CHILDHOOD YEARS IN ROXAS CITY. BARBIE, AS MANY WOULD PREFER TO CALL HER, IS AN EXTRAORDINARY YOUNG WOMAN. SHE CAN PLAY THE GUITAR WHILE SINGING OR PLAY THE HARMONICA WHILE STRUMMING HER GUITARS. PLAYING THE GUITAR SINCE 11, SHE NEVER REALLY TOOK ANY LESSONS AND UP UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL. BARBIE IS A TYPICAL TYPE OF GIRL LIKE ANYONE ELSE. BEING A PART OF THEIR SOFTBALL AND BASKETBALL TEAM WAY BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL MAKES HER NOT ONLY A GREAT MUSICIAN BUT ALSO A GOOD ATHLETE.

HER MOM WAS HER FIRST MUSICAL INFLUENCE. BARBIE WAS IN GRADE 1 WHEN HER MOM TAUGHT AND MADE HER SING "RAINBOW CONNECTIONS" ALL THE TIME AND SO SHE LIKED IT AND CONTINUE SINGING IT. SINCE THEN, SHE DEVELOPED HER SINGING THAT MADE HER STAND WHERE SHE IS NOW. BEING HONEST WHENEVER SHE WRITES HER SONGS, THIS LADY WROTE SONGS THAT ARE BASED ON HER REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES. ANYTHING THAT STRIKES HER OR SOMETIMES EVEN STORIES OF OTHER PEOPLE INSPIRES HER TO WRITE SONGS. SHE STARTS WRITING THEM OUT AS POEMS AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY TURNS THEM INTO SONGS. SHE HAS WRITTEN ABOUT A HUNDRED SONGS TO DATE THOUGH NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN RECORDED BY THE BAND. SHE DOES THE LYRICS, MELODY AND BASIC ARRANGEMENTS.

BARBIE IS OFTENLY COMPARED TO PAULA COLE OR JEWEL BECAUSE OF HER STYLE. THE WAY SHE SINGS AND PLAYS HER GUITAR. THERE MAYBE SIMILIRATIES BUT SHE'S VERY DIFFERENT FROM THEM. SHE HAS HER OWN UNIQUE WAY OF MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY AND LIKE HER SONGS. BARBIE HAS THIS MAGICAL TOUCH THAT MAKES PEOPLE STOP AND LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC WHICH MAKES HER ONE OF A KIND. SHE IS INFLUENCED BY VARIOUS ARTISTS SUCH AS SARAH MACLACHLAN, PAULA COLE, THE POLICE AND LISTENS TO A LOT OF JONI MITCHELL ALBUMS. BARBIE BELIEVES THAT ITS NOT HER WHO IS THE STAR OF THEIR BAND; ITS THEIR MUSIC. THE MELODY, THE LYRICS THAT IT GIVES THE SOUL. BESIDES MUSIC, SHE DEVOTES HER SPARE TIME IN PAINTING, POETRY WRITING AND MOSTLY IN SLEEPING.
