Born in Camuy, Puerto Rico, Josie Rosa came to the beautiful Sunshine State as an aspiring singer/ songwriter. At an astonishingly 6 years of age she wrote her first song and started her professional tract at age 14. Needless to say,she is living her dream, singing in front of huge crowds and expressing her creativity for the population to enjoy. Recently she was starred in a J&D Cigars photo shoot, featuring both Temptation and Allure Cigars. I was graced with the opportunity to interview her recently.
1. When did you start smoking and why?

- "I've always been facinated with cigars since my grand father used to make them in Puerto Rico, we used to have a farm there. But, he used to make them only for his personal use.I think I started smoking them a few years ago."
2. You are a singer, do you ever wonder if smoking might become a problem in your career?
- "Well smoking can be bad for singerers, but only if you smoke too much at a time. I take care of my voice though."
- "I've been writing since I was 6 years old. Music runs in my family, my Mom, Aunt, and others used to sing at churches, special events, and wherever there were instruments and fiesta!"
- "Well I'm a Massage Therapist and a Skin Specialist too, I wanted to go to college just in case. What I enjoy the most of course is singing!"
6. Is there a traditional dish you enjoy the most from your country of origin?
- Yes of coarse "Arroz con Gandules and Pasteles", the best!!
7. Is there anything you woould like to tell me about yourself that you would like my readers to know? (i.e. children, favorite cigar, etc.)
"I have one daughter that is the love of my life and my inspiration. My favorite cigar is Temptation! I'm a writer also and I'm in the middle of writing my first book and I'm so exited about it! I love also working out and spending time with my family and friends, plus I love going to the movies, and enjoy music a lot like house/electronica/dance. Love life to the fullest!!!"
If you are interested in listening to her music there are plenty of places that you can check out.
I was really impressed by the spirit that Josie expressed. Very optimistic, kind, and fun. A Fiesta girl! I look forward to talking to her again. I have to give props to Destiny Brown Photography, they really did a great job with the photos.
