Sup ya'll, the name is Arvie Lowe, Jr. I know ya going "damn, dude looks familiar, he went to my high school!?", "He my cousin I met last year at the family reunion", "That's Micheal Bivins from NEW EDITION"..The answer is NO, NO , and HELL NAW!! I am an an actor/entertainer/recording artist. Oh, the pics are 1. me as "Mr. Dig - Lizzie Mcguire" 2. As "Ernie - Sister, Sister", 3. me as Dion - Smart Guy" , me at 11 as "Boots from Disney's the Musical NEWSIES"BIO:Arvie Lowe, Jr BIOBorn in Culver City, CA. At 8 yrs old, Arvie (R.V.) started out as a hot street dancer. Grooving on the streets of L.A. in front of some of the more popular liquor stores with his buddies. He attended a birthday party at a dance studio Regina’s school of the performing arts; witch unassumingly landed him an agent when the owner, Regina Williams, saw him dance. This started his professional career, honing his skills at Regina’s in all area’s of performance mainly Hip-Hop. His 12th birthday was spent on the road as a dancer for REEBOK International, performing in mostly foreign countries for months at a time. When he got back, Arvie landed one of the most important auditions in his life. In a Live action DISNEY MOVIE MUSICAL entitled “Newsies” starring Christian Bale (American Psycho, Batman Begins). A story about the newsboy’s strike of New York in 1899.From then on, Live performances with Regina’s “brat pack” dance company and a guest starring role on the short lived sitcom “THEA” (Thea Vidale, Brandy Norwood) seemed to be Arvie’s bread and butter, until his mother, Maxcine Lowe who was a Mentor Teacher at Bethune Junior High in South Central L.A. passed away when he was only 15. Arvie contemplated leaving the business but knew he wouldn’t be happy. After “THEA” called him in to work not less than 2 weeks after his mom’s passing, he knew what was in store for him.Now, with a new sense of empowerment, Arvie worked, worked, and worked. Appearing as “ERNIE” on the hit series “Sister, Sister” (Tia & Tamera Mowery), “Dion” on the show “Smart Guy” (Taj Mowery, Jason Weaver) all while touring with famed R&B act “immature”, “Brownstone”, and “MC LYTE”, plus countless commercials for such conglomerates as “NIKE”, “Coca Cola”, “MOUNTAIN DEW” and “McDonalds”. A short dance role on “The Steve Harvey Show” was where he formally met his match, Terence Washington. The 2 short black guys set out on a mission to rule the entertainment industry with they’re brand of energetic song and dance as a RAP/SING duo called “poppiceeds”. Arvie and Terence’s partnership resulted in an entertainment company called “Glitch Inc”. Knowing very little about the music industry, Arvie sank a bunch of his own money into buying a home based recording studio. That’s when he got really broke because he didn’t know how to use it, well! They did everything to try and break into the business, wrote scripts, filmed spec commercials, choreographed acts. As a duo, they were unstoppable, but could hardly be taken seriously with no solid projects under they’re belt, which frustrated them.In his early 20’s, Arvie landed a role as “Mr. Digs” on a popular Disney Channel show called “Lizzie McGuire” (Hilary Duff) where he played Lizzie’s zany substitute teacher for a season and a half. The poppiceeds, project just didn’t blow up like they thought it would, but they didn’t give up. They found a producer they knew, worked with him, and the poppiceeds sounds got heavier and more creative than before. Pulling together folks they thought FELT good playing for the project acted as a ping-pong affect in forming the band known today as “RAYZING SONS”. Rayzing Sons is an L.A. 6 piece rock powerhouse that can’t be stopped. In the short 4 years, the band has performed in every legendary venue on the Sunset strip, toured “Freeze Magazine’s” ski movie 3 release all across the east coast, played Warped Tour 03’, filmed 3 national commercials for “Titlist”, Florida Citrus Orange Juice”, and “Cox Communications”, and just recently landed a music placement on the major motion picture DVD commercial release of Universal Pictures “DOOM” movie starring THE ROCK. Everyone in the band, just fit in right!! Arvie’s work finally paid off, now let’s see if he can get to an even higher level.Now, Arvie has found a new vice in Voice Talent. He is represented by International Creative Management (I.C.M – Beverly Hills) and just recently landed the role of “SODA” a wise cracking ninja in a jungle of apes in the animated series “Ace Bogart” from RUGRATS creators Klasky Csupo.Arvie and Terence’s Glitch, Inc is now merging with Jameela Hammonds Promotion Company to form Hartecor Industries. Which will be the premier production company for the new millennium, dealing in TV, Film, and Animation.Arvie’s writing comes from a place of rejection, let downs, and encouragement. At 5’3, 125lbs, he has to work 10 times harder to get his point across to a big world. He just wants to make good meaningful music before he dies. Lowe is just getting started and his career, although beginning at a young age, is age-less. So if that doesn't jog ya memory, it's cool, i been on so many freakin' commercial spots, ya saw me and probably didn't know it! NOW, that that's over....WHAT IS UP!!??Yo, i'm new to myspace but it seems like a cool spot to kick it, I am in a ROCK band on here called RAYZING SONS (myspace/rayzingsons) so i'm just here meeting folks and having a FREAKY good time!

Please Note:For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading this morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn't hear it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote it. THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery. Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS. Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, "The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book." We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all. GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%). Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing. They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, And they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them "Status" or that they have achieved their Dream. They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities. With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn't want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!). They'll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them. SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A "Talented Tenth" he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some "form" of success. However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn't read that the "Talented Tenth" was then responsible to aid The Non Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal. Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community. They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM) They do not understand that they are no better than each other of what they own as a matter of fact, most of those Buddies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of ourpens in our offices and our rooms. Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are "helping" their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, THEY DON'T READ!!!!
