Dreams don’t last long for BET’s newest starlet, ROCSI. That’s because she turns them into reality. When she auditioned for BET’s New Faces Search and beat out more than 5,000 other competitors, she was already a hit radio personality in Chicago destined for more. Crowned the new female co-host of 106 & PARK, Rocsi, along with co-host, Terrence, has the experience and character to steer the network’s highly rated music countdown toward continued success.
Born in Honduras, this beautiful Latina grew up in New Orleans and claims the Bayou State as home. Immersed in the eclectic cultures of that historic city, Rocsi is well versed in many genres of music, but hip hop is her main ingredient. “Hip hop is in my blood; it’s programmed into my DNA,” she says. After graduating from Nicholls State University, she deejayed her way into the tough Texas and Boston radio markets, before making her home at Chicago’s Power 92 FM.
Known in radio as the “Midday Mami,” Rocsi’s charming and versatile persona allows her to transition easily from the DJ booth to the dance floor or to the ball field. She enjoys salsa dancing with the girls, chillin’ with the boys at the 40-yard line and boxing.
In addition to the “Midday Mami’s” interesting hobbies, she can be found lending a humanitarian hand. After Hurricane Katrina destroyed her hometown, Rocsi and some of her closest friends decided to throw a benefit, appropriately named “Jambalaya.” Proceeds from Jambalaya went to help rebuild Rocsi’s alma mater, West Jefferson High School. Why did she feel the need to help out? “My first everything was in New Orleans...my first dance, my first kiss, and so I figured why not have my own little New Orleans bash as a way to give back to my hometown.”
Rocsi’s friendly, fun personality will draw you in. She’s confident and beautiful, but most important, she’s 100 percent real. So get ready for Rocsi to rock your world.
