ATB:
Wsup Rosa, how are you doing today?
R.A: I’m doing amazing,
thanks.
ATB: Now I know your resume is pretty long, but for the record can you briefly give our readers some background on yourself, where they may have seen you and your work?
R.A: I was a member of the Dominican
National Ballet in D.R. About 5 years ago I came to USA and 2 years ago I shot
a stretching video/clip that got people asking for more of Rosa Acosta. After
that I been in music videos with Drake, 50 cent, Mario, Gucci Mane, Sean
Garret, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, The DEY, Mike Posner, Soulja Boy, Omarion,
Chris Brown, Juelz Santana, Kidz in The Hall, Lil Wayne etc. French Rapper
Bubba, Spanish artist such as Jowell y Randy, Alexis y Fido, Amarfis, Fuego,
LDA, Aventura, Coscuella, Cristian Skala, Baby Ranks, Melimel, and cover model
for magazines like KING, SHOW, BLACKMEN, SMOOTH, LOWRIDER, JM etc.
ATB:
Jeesh that’s incredible! Ok, so you’re from D.R?
R.A: I was born and raised in
Dominican Republic and I currently live in LA
ATB: Cool, so you’ve been modeling for about…. 2 years?
R.A: I been modeling full time for
almost 2 years now... I just happen to be in the right place at the right time
and that’s why I’m here.
ATB: Nice! So what do you enjoy most about the modeling business?
R.A: The love from my supporters is
what I enjoy the most!
ATB: Awww (laugh) Ok, now people see the glamour but often don't see the hard work it takes to be successful in this business. Can you briefly describe a typical day grind for you, from the time you get up in the morning?
R.A: One thing about my life is ... there’s
no typical days anymore. It can be wake up early to go to another city, Do
interviews, shoots, go host a party, go to airport and do it all over again in
another city ... or 12 hours on set for a commercial or music video...
ATB:
Definitely a hectic lifestyle. Now I want to say a lot and I mean a lot of
women are taking pictures in the bathroom from their cell phone, posting them
on twitter and calling themselves a model (laugh). Can you briefly explain what
an official, published model is for those who may not have an idea?
R.A: There are different types of modeling;
I work as a commercial, glamour, fitness model. To me what matters is being
paid for your job. So being paid to model, sell, promote a brand or product is
my idea of a model.
ATB: Ohhh ok gotcha. From the earlier question I can see the modeling lifestyle gets pretty hectic and busy. What do you like to do when you so get some free time?
R.A: Take ballet, acting classes, go
to the movies, workout, spend time with family and friends, read etc.
ATB: Cool. Now of course the fellas what to know, what kind of men do you like?
R.A: Mature, respectful, hardworking
with great personalities and sense of humor.
ATB: There you go fellas, tighten it up.(laugh) Ok on to more serious stuff. We have this column on arkatechbeatz.com called Music Industry Bullsh*t where we vent about some of the B.S we go through as producers. I know you get hit with the bullsh*t in this business, so let’s hear one. What’s the biggest one you’re tired of??
R.A: When somebody wanna work with
me but refuse to go tru my management ... that’s something I can’t deal
with.
ATB: Yeah that one happens a lot. So many people claim they are about their biz but clearly are not. Another thing, what do you think about body enhancements like butt implants and all? Is it going too far?
R.A: I honestly don’t care what anybody
is doing with their body
ATB: I feel you, pretty much do you. Now there are a lot of young girls that are trying to get in the modeling game. Can you give some advice? Maybe tell them what to expect, what to look out for, what not to do?
R.A: The best advice would be to go
to school and get a career ... But if you really want to model make sure you work
with professionals, and never do anything you don’t feel comfortable
with.
ATB: Good advice. So what's next for you? Any new projects we should be looking out for?
R.A: I’m working on a new website.
My calendar, DVD for 2011 is out and doing amazing at www.rosaacostastore.com ,
been doing lots of commercials, working on some acting gigs, TV shows, music
videos, magazine covers ... a workout DVD ... there’s still a lot about Rosa
Acosta.
ATB: Wow, a lot. Any other ventures you would like to get into outside of modeling?
R.A: Yes def working my way to the
fitness industry, acting, TV etc
ATB: Cool, Any regrets or something you would have done different?
R.A: No regrets
ATB: Good. Now how can fans keep up with you and stay informed on the latest with you?
ATB:
and if one wants to get you for a shoot or hosting how do they go about that?
ATB: There it is! And let me give a shout out to Charles for making this happen, and on that note I think that about wraps it up for now. I want to thank you for giving arkatechbeatz.com this exclusive interview. We appreciate you taking time out of your day for this, it was really a pleasure. Do you have any last words for our readers?
R.A: I love you guys! and thanks for
