We met Rocky to for a fun blitz. Check this out!

“This record really has meant everything to me”. - Rocky confessed. “2020 was an incredibly difficult year for me, as it was for so many people. I was very out of shape mentally and struggled a lot with my mental health. To now be in a place where I feel rebuilt and stronger, more confident than I ever have is a huge accomplishment for me at this point. This ep is really a result and reflection of how I feel like I’ve kind of reinvented myself over the past year+. It’s fun, it’s light, it’s confident, it’s me.”

We met Rocky to ask all the tea behind the release and share it with you!

CL: Hi Rocky, we are happy to present you as a cover story in “Cosmo Life”. How are you doing?

RW: I am doing great! Thank you!

CL: We are so excited about your new EP, so are your fans. You confessed, that 2020 was difficult for you. What was the main trouble that made it hard?
RW: There were a lot of aspects about last year that were really challenging. I was sort of forced to confront some things that I’d put off dealing with, and in dealing with those issues I sort of unraveled. But through that process I gained a lot of healing and strength that I didn’t have before.

CL: How did you manage to regain your energy? Can you share some of your top go-tos?

RW: THERAPY! I cannot stress this enough! I found a great therapist, who I still see, and that was the biggest game changer. I had a really hard time writing music last year. Everything I tried to write was so dark and bleak I  just struggled sharing any of it. So I worked to find new ways to be creative. I stared journaling, drawing, I created vision boards and started a side hustle and all of it brought my creativity back and the ideas started pouring out. 

CL: When it comes to energy and health, what is your favorite thing to get back to normal after hard work?

RW: For me it’s really quiet and stillness. When I’m anxious, there are these beautiful trails I like to walk and just meditate and quiet the voices in my head. 

CL: What are your favorite beauty products and SPA?
RW: Oooo this one can take a while! More than anything, I am obsessed with skin care. So finding the right products and regimen that works for me has been great. I have sensitive, combination skin that is a little more on the oily side. I use an Elizabeth Arden toner, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid and Caffeine Solution eye serum, and an Elizabeth Arden moisturizer. I also start off skin icing with a solution I make myself!

CL: What is your favorite song from the EP?

RW: I really love all of these songs and my favorite song changes with the day but right now my favorite song is probably “What Are We Waiting For.” It’s so different than anything I’ve ever done before and I’m really loving the vibe.

CL: That’s exciting! It has a very bold vibe, so summer and beach, isn’t it? Speaking of which, what would be your first country you’ll visit when the restrictions are lifted?

RW: I’d love to go back to Italy! I have family there, so I’d love to see all my relatives!

CL: You worked with your co-writers and producers, Frankie Jason Turner, David Shelby, and Matt Geroux and tried to create a collection that’s light, energetic and fun. 

We think you more than accomplished the mission! Was working on the EP as much fun as the music?

RW: It was the most fun I’ve had working on a project! My team is a collection of the funniest humans alive so there was never a moment they didn’t have me laughing at something stupid.

You began your professional writing career as a journalist working for Esquire Magazine, Glamour, Harper's, and even Playboy.  What was something you learned from this time that you still incorporate into your writing today?

My early career of writing feature journalism taught me some incredibly valuable lessons. Perhaps the most useful of all was to learn how to tell a story concisely. In journalism, you have a strictly limited word count, so you cannot indulge in dragging your story out or meandering into needless digressions A second lesson was how to zero in on a vivid detail or incident that can really make a story jump to life. And thirdly, to develop an ear for the way people actually talk and how much they can reveal themselves through what they say.

You have also worked on screenplays and as an executive producer during your time living in Los Angeles. What was it like to see your vision come to life on the screen?

As most people know, very few screenplays actually make it to the screen. So whenever I actually had something produced, it was thrilling. I was particularly amazed at how much an actor can add to a character just by an offhand gesture or using a throaty tone of voice. Once in a while, it was the opposite—I’d want to rush onto the set and say, “No, that’s not the way to play my character! She’s ballsy, not a shrinking violet.” But since I couldn’t do that, I had to learn to just let go and enjoy the ride.

With such a varied background, you decided to devote yourself to writing novels. What is it about this medium that has made it your priority?

For me, writing novels as opposed to journalism was inevitable, because I always had original stories in my head I was itching to get down in words. I liked writing screenplays, but movies are a collaborative affair. If you are fortunate enough to get something produced, many people will have been involved in what ultimately gets on screen. In a novel, although an editor may demand changes, you are really the sole writer, director and cameraman of your project. I love having that autonomy.

You focus on writing thrillers that captivate your readers. What can you tell us about the 'recipe' for crafting a truly engrossing read?

A recipe for crafting an engrossing read? Hmmm. I’d say the basic ingredient is a compelling main character who makes you care about them (even if you don’t like them!) and who keeps you guessing. Also, for a suspense story, you must constantly add the spice of pulling the rug out from under the reader, preferably just as they are sure they know where the story is heading. The kinds of twists that make a reader say, “I never saw that coming!” And an important ingredient is the cliff-hanger: those tasty dangling elements that make the reader constantly want to gobble up the next chapter.

Your newest novel, Mrs. Rochester’s Ghost, is a modern take on Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. What were some of the elements that you took from the classic novel and what are the new twists you added that were all your own?

I did adapt a few of the most famous elements of the classic Jane Eyre for Mrs. Rochester’s Ghost: a young woman comes to an atmospheric estate, falls for the difficult but beguiling man who owns it, and discovers a secret about him involving a wife. But I’ve added many original twists, beginning with the fact that my Mr. Rochester is under suspicion of murdering his wife, and this creates a mystery Jane must solve-- even though it could likely prove him guilty. There’s also a ghost that may or may not be haunting Jane, as she attempts to prove or disprove his innocence. And there is the counterpoint voice from the past of Beatrice -- Mrs. Rochester -- who narrates a mad and twisty tale of what happened the day she was lost to the sea.

How did you get to know your protagonist Jane? Did anything about her character surprise you? Delight you? Make you wince? Make you smile?

My protagonist Jane continually surprised me. She had such a cheeky sense of humor, and an independent streak that I admired hugely. Sometimes when she had moments of terrible regret or indecision, she could make me wince a little, but if she didn’t have those moments, she wouldn’t have seemed human. I smiled frequently at her refusal to put up with Mr. Rochester’s moodiness; and at her touching scenes with Sophia, Rochester’s troubled teenaged daughter—Jane shows her great compassion but at the same time deftly keeps her in line.

The unforgettable Mr. Rochester—adored by millions of readers. How did you go about recreating one of the most iconic men in literature? Were you ever intimidated when considering how to write a modern version of such a beloved character?

Creating a modern version of the oh-so-iconic Mr. Rochester was probably my biggest challenge. He needed to be flawed without being a totally repellant jerk. And he could not even have the advantage of being handsome. I made him a tech entrepreneur because it seemed like a character who could display the necessary flamboyance and arrogance, as well as one who might be tempted to bending rules for his own benefit. And of course somebody capable of great passion—both for good and for bad!

In addition to being a very successful author, you are also a writing coach. What advice do you give to new writers looking to complete their first manuscript? 

I love coaching new writers and watching them grow in their craft. It’s hard to whittle down the process to several pieces of advice, but here are a few. First of all, learn how to accept criticism—I don’t mean in order to blindly follow it, but to absorb it and come to your own decisions about how to use or reject it. The second is sheer perseverance. Don’t get discouraged at the first knot in your story—or the second, or the fourteenth! There is almost always a solution. And thirdly: revise, revise, revise. And if necessary, be ruthless in your revision. If a scene or a chunk of dialogue or a description isn’t working for your story, then out with it! This is often-given advice, but for a reason—it’s so valuable!

Said Bilani is using his considerable fortune and philanthropic status to fundamentally rethink humanitarianism while making philanthropy fashionable. Top Fashion magazine is proud to showcase this philanthropy power player in our Summer 2021 Cover Issue.

It’s a short drive from well-known Savannah, GA, but to the less well-known—it is America’s Favorite Island, a place not to be seen or heard, but a place to live loud in luxury. Consistently ranked one of the top Islands in the United States, Hilton Head has it all. From beautiful beaches, world-class golf courses to exceptional restaurants and high-energy water sports, this boot-shaped sea Island will satisfy even the most demanding summer checklist. Hilton Head Island was also voted #1 Island in the Continental U.S. and #2 Island in the World. Among other accolades, Mr. 23 “Michael Jordan” himself calls it home and frequents its golf courses every summer.

From sunrise to sunset, we cherished every moment on this magical Island! It was a delight to follow our cover star, Said Bilani, around Hilton Head, from the Harbour Town Marina to the famous Sea Pines Resort to Coligny Beach to learn first-hand how philanthropy doesn’t always have to be reduced to dreary imagery but could comprise luxury. A morning jog on Coligny, an afternoon doorless helicopter ride over the Calibogue Sound, a sunset dolphin yacht to the Harbour Town Lighthouse (the site of our photoshoot), and interspersed throughout the day; putting around Hilton Head’s luscious green links, delivering a virtual commencement speech to 2021 graduates, and communicating over phone seemingly every other minute with his staff, partners, and assistants, through it all, Said not only defined philanthropy but redefined it, amalgamating it with luxury and Top Fashion. 

Through the jet-set, we found the time to sit and sometimes jog with Said as he answered some of our most pressing questions for our Special Edition Summer 2021 Issue.
