FHM

When FHM asked what she loved more than acting, Alessandra de Rossi surprisingly answered, “Mas mahal ko ang music.” But to this, she quickly adds, “Kaya lang, mas may napatunayan na ako sa acting.” Who would have thought that this award-winning actress was also blessed with talent in music?

So excited is she with her newfound career in music that she has decided to debut her first single, a cover of the Christopher Cross song Sailing, through FHM!

This April, Alessandra de Rossi finally graces the cover of the country’s undisputed number one men’s magazine after years of waiting, and debuts as a recording artist simultaneously.

The first time Alessandra decided to do an FHM cover four years ago, she backed out two days before the shoot. When asked about her last-minute stand not to go through with it, Alessandra shrugs it off. “Ayoko lang talaga. I [did not want to be seen as] a sex symbol,” she says about her decision then. But what made her decide to pose for FHM now?

Alessandra eagerly goes on about her new venture as a musician, and how launching her music career in FHM seems to be the perfect strategy. “May mas bobongga pa ba sa FHM? May magazine na, may album pa!,” she excitedly reveals.

Alessandra also talks about her first single, Sailing, which came about one day while she and her best friend were playing around with the computer. After hearing the song on the radio, they decided to do a chill-out remix of the song, with Alessandra on the vocal reins. “Pag wala kaming magawa, we make music. We actually have 11 songs, lahat original except for Sailing.”

Asked how best to describe her experience posing for FHM for the first time, Alessandra points to her first single. “Sabi nga sa lyrics, ‘It’s not far down to paradise/if the wind is right you can sail away‘,” she answers coyly.
