The
creator, producer, and sole performer of YoJo is Bromley Lowe who
has quite an extensive professional background being a "character"
...
You see, for over 10 years, Bromley made his entire living
performing as a Major League Baseball mascot for the Baltimore
Orioles. As the head performer of "The Oriole
Bird" from 1994 - 2004, he entertained millions of fans during
Orioles home games and at thousands of outside
promotions.
He
also helped create the concept for the Baltimore Ravens' trio of
mascots: Edgar, Allan, & Poe. For four years, Bromley performed as
the original Edgar, and was even selected as a NFL Pro-Bowl mascot.
He performed at Superbowl XXXV in Tampa, Florida, and cheered on the
Ravens during their championship victory.
He started this career of
mascotting while attending film school at The American University in
Washington, DC, where he performed as their eagle mascot "Clawed!"
Bromley was recognized as one the nation's top 10 college mascots by
the Universal Cheerleaders Association.
In
1999, the idea of YoJo started to form as Bromley
wanted to create his own
independent mascot that would be more than just a sideshow at
sporting events. The thought was to combine his very animated
mascotting skills with extra talent and enhanced production
qualities. This dream finally became a full reality when the
first show debuted at Beltsville Elementary, the school where his
wife was a teacher, in March of 2000. After a few successful years,
YoJo's shows because so popular and frequent that Bromley dedicated himself to producing and
performing YoJo as his full-time occupation in October of 2004.
He currently lives in Hanover,
Maryland and is married to Leslie, an assistant
principal at Beltsville Elementary. They have a son, Bromley III,
and a daughter, Cameron, who both just happen to share the same
sense of humor as their dad.
