Real biography: Introduction Yasmin Deliz

Who: Co-host of mun2 VivoWhy she’s one to watch: She keeps it real.Not afraid to show off her feisty attitude when on the air, Deliz has been dubbed “Queenz” by her throngs of fans. The Dominican-Colombian was born in Venezuela and raised in Queens, New York where she developed her on-air personality and got her signature hoop earrings with “Queens” scripted on them. “I turn into a different animal on stage, that’s when Queenz comes out,” she says. “When I am on Vivo, I am Queenz.” Her mun2 show Vivo, which she shares with co-host Renato, invites top musicians of the day to perform their hits live. There Deliz has been able to interview up-and-coming stars such as Calle 13, rapper Chingo Bling, whom she also put to a blind tamale taste test and Beyonce, for whom the show had a birthday party.Off the air: Deliz lent her voice to the 2004 hit single Girlfight by Brooke Valentine and has also become the only Latina model for the urban clothing brand South Pole.Where you’ll see her next: Premiering in January, Deliz teams up with fellowVJ Crash, in mun2’s new show The Chicas Project. It’s a reality show meets variety show. Set in Los Angeles, it pits the duo against an array of challenges, to hilarious results. “We get into some crazy stuff,” she says. “I can’t really tell my mom the things that I have done. I think the show gives Latinas a chance to see themselves in a starring role on television. If they can’t relate to me, they can relate to Crash.”
