Whether it is dance, content creation, acting, singing, fashion hauls, beauty tips, skincare, hairstyling, trending sneaker content or entrepreneurship, our latest cover star has got it all covered!
Merely at the age of 17, Pressley Hosbach has transformed into one of the youngest rising creatives within the landscape of entertainment and lifestyle. And she's only getting stronger.
Hailing from Los Angeles, Hosbach has been witnessed immersing herself into a plethora of immensely exciting endeavours ranging from being one of the stars in the final installment of "Dance Mom", to her involvement as a host on the orange carpet of Teen Choice Awards. She was also featured on Nickelodeon's scripted series "Erin & Aaron'' and fans can't wait to see what she has in store for the future in terms of her acting journey!
But that's not it. Pressley's talents does not solely reside in just being a performer and a viral content creator. She's also an upcoming entrepreneur poised to disrupt the athleisure market.
Hosbach recently launched her own activewear line in collaboration with "Jo + Jax"; a collection that is more than just dancewear. It's a line of collection beautifully amalgamating the elements of fashion, comfort, and functionality.
Having such a multifaceted life, Pressley Hosbach recently sat down with us as our latest cover star in order to discuss her prominent professional journey so far.
Hi there Pressley. So lovely to have you as our latest cover star here at ReVamp! How are you doing? Since we're almost at the end of 2023, how would you say has this year been for you both professionally and personally?
Hi! I’m doing great, thanks for asking! This year for me has definitely been super memorable for me in all aspects of my life. I think that I have grown a lot as a person and in my career and can’t wait for the next.
At just the age of 17, it seems like you have already achieved a lot!
What would you say has been the most memorable moment of your professional journey so far?
There have been a lot of moments that have been super special to me over the years but most recently getting to guest star on Nickelodeon’s newest show Erin & Aaron was super cool. I have been watching Nickelodeon my whole life so getting to now watch myself was surreal!
Talk to me more about what it truly was that brought you closer within the landscape of entertainment. Was it something that you had already decided to pursue at a young age or did this passion emerge at a later phase of your life?
Growing up as a dancer I knew I wanted to be in the entertainment industry from an early age but as I got older and started immersing myself more in the industry I realized that while I still wanted to continue dancing my focus and goals for my long term career had shifted to acting and music.
You have also garnered such a well established following on your social media platforms; releasing distinct videos on skincare, fashion, beauty, hair, sneaker content and much more. It's like you've got everything covered!
Besides these diverse elements, is there any other genre or type of content you'd love to craft more videos on if given an opportunity?
I really love creating content and sharing so much of my life and world with my audience. I have so much fun creating all different types of content whether it is beauty and lifestyle, dance, cooking or fashion & my love of sneakers I really am just letting my content be determined by who I am and what I am doing and enjoying at that particular time of my life - it is really just my digital diary!
I obviously have to mention your recently launched own activewear collection with Jo+Jax! Huge congratulations on this phenomenal endeavour! How did this wonderful collaboration come into existence?
Thank you so much! Collaborating with Jo+Jax has truly been a dream! Being a dancer my whole life I was always wearing Jo+Jax to class and dance conventions - it was my favorite brand! When the opportunity came about to create my own collection I couldn’t have thought of a better brand to partner with. It was such a great experience to have been so involved in the entire process and to learn how much time, work and energy goes into making a collection come to life. It was truly a full circle moment for me and I couldn’t be more proud of how the collection came together.
Are you happy with the reception that you have received from your supporters on this line of collection so far?
Yes! I am thrilled with how the collection has been received and how much love so many people are showing it! I love to see other dancers, athletes and even people just wearing the pieces in their day to day life. It shows how versatile the collection is and how it really can work for anyone and everyone.
Being someone who has already achieved so many accolades merely at the age of 16, what sort of advice would you like to bestow upon the young individuals who look up to you as a source of inspiration and are trying to make it within the entertainment industry?
I would say that the best advice that I could give is to always stay true to who you are, work hard and to always surround yourself with people who want to make you better yourself and who support you in all that you do. I also think that finding role models that share the same values as you is important so that you always have someone to motivate and inspire you. And of course, never give up on your dreams!
Besides being a wonderful content creator and a phenomenal entrepreneur, you have also been seen showcasing your impeccable acting skills on-screen; being involved amongst several successful projects like "Dancing Moms" and Nickelodeon's scripted series "Erin & Aaron''.
Is there anything that your fans expect in terms of your acting career in your future years?
Yes! Besides music, acting is where I see myself and my career going and I have a lot of plans to make those goals come true this year!
What's next for you, Pressley? Anything on your bucket list for the year 2024?
I have a lot of goals and things on my bucket list for 2024! Early on in 2024 I am launching my solo music career so I am super excited for that and everything that will come along with it. I have lots of plans on the acting front and have a lot of amazing projects coming soon as well! I can’t wait to share more on all of that soon!
(Thank you for taking out your time for this interview, Pressley!)
Lastly, I would love to ask you if there's any message that you'd wish to convey to your supporters currently reading this interview?
Thank you so much, I loved talking with you!
I would like to say thank you to anyone that is reading this or to anyone that has supported me in my journey. I wouldn’t be where I am without you all and I feel very lucky to have this platform and hope to continue to use it for good and to continue spreading happiness and positivity to everyone out there and hope to always be a positive role model.
