Immergent Records Recording artist Jo De La Rosa is best known for her staring roll on the BRAVO mega hit "The Real Housewives of Orange County." Jo spent two seasons on the show where she played herself as a sexy newcomer to the gate-guarded and ultra-exclusive community of Coto de Caza. For this Latin beauty, landing the role on The Real Housewives might have come easy but keeping up with her day-to-day obligations of press and media to promote her music and the show have proved to be quite challenging.
Bravo TV is now in production on "Date My Ex," a new reality dating series staring Jo De La Rosa and Slade Smiley. The show will touch on Jo's new life in LA, the launch of her debut album "Unscripted" and her exciting misadventures as she begins her quest to look for love. "As De La Rosa's suitors will find out, you don't get Jo without her ex-fiance Slade," Bravo stated in its show announcement.
On August 19th, Jo will release her debut album, "Unscripted" under Immergent Records. Produced by Brian Todd and Smidi Smith, the album will be available for downloads on ITunes July 15th. Every song on the album is a little piece of the journey De La Rosa's been through since she left OrangeCounty to start her life over in LA. The title "Unscripted" defines that journey in an autobiographical way.
"When the idea to film the recording of my debut single for the show first came up, the producers jumped at the chance to go one step further and have the song air in front of an international audience," said De La Rosa.
De La Rosa is also presently being featured in a new project with ABC called Squeeges. Squeeges is backed by Disney and Touchstone Pictures and is ABC's new online series of comic shorts. Jo's additional credits include a new movie set for release in 2008 called "The Penthouse."
The single, "U Can't Control Me" is now impacting Top 40.
