MY RITUAL: START WITH SONG

– KEYS SOULCARE

Bronx-born model and rising star Alecia Rodriguez clearly has moves. Apart from gracing the pages of fashion magazines, the runway for fashion houses like Maison Margiela, and her smile-inducing Instagram feed, she recently co-starred in our “Masterpiece” video.

We grabbed a sec on the socially distant set to ask what helps her bring such on-camera (and IRL) kindness-meets-cool to her work, even on long days.

“I listen to music every morning,” Alecia shared. “Even if it’s just for 30 seconds to get my mind moving and my mood up, music definitely motivates me. I’m really versatile in my taste, too — everything from R&B and rock to Spanish. I thought I hated country… but I tried it, and even like that, too!”
