Club Jenna Inc. has signed mainstream model Sophia Rossi to an exclusive performance contract. Rossi will make her adult video debut with the company.
Rossi is a 27-year-old native of Las Vegas who enters adult with an extensive list of modeling and film credits. The curvaceous blonde has been featured in ad campaigns for companies such as Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, ESPN, Canon Computers, Harley Davidson and Dillard’s department stores. She was also a stage dancer for Kid Rock.
Rossi said she has known Club Jenna owner Jenna Jameson for about four years.
“I knew it was time,” Rossi told AVN.com. “It was weird. Every nerve in my body was telling me to do it. I just knew it’s what I wanted. I go by my instincts.”
When she was 16, Rossi playfully suggested to her late mother that she would try doing explicit movies some day.
“I’ve always been a really sensual woman. I dress pretty risqué all the time,” Rossi said. “I use my body as a form of language, as a way to express myself.”
The 5-foot-6 beauty once showed off her 38D-25-35 figure at the Crazy Horse and Club Paradise gentlemen’s clubs in Las Vegas. She also has modeled for swimsuit catalogs, billboards and magazines.
“Sophia has an honest beauty that is irresistibly sexy,” Jameson said.
Rossi recently shot her first nude layout for Penthouse, giving her a taste of what is to come.
“I spoke to {Club Jenna CEO Jay Hrdina} briefly after the Super Bowl. He invited me back to Phoenix to talk to them,” she said. “It was a personal decision. It was a kind of a whirlwind. I’m extremely happy.”
A self-described “perfectionist” whose background is Italian, Irish and Indian, Rossi will be performing in boy/girl and girl/girl scenes under her multi-year, CJ Inc. contract. She left the option to do other types of scenes.
Some of her recent film work includes a role in the independent feature film Vegas Baby, where, ironically, she plays a porn star. She also has a role in the upcoming supercross movie Foxes. Her credits also include a recurring role in “Chicago Hope” and a Ruffles commercial.
Rossi took an extended break from modeling in 2000 to attend nursing school, and returned in 2003. She also took care of her mother who succumbed to brain cancer until May of last year. Rossi told AVN.com that she wants to do charity work on behalf of Club Jenna.
“I enjoy giving to others. I enjoy giving back to people,” she said. “I want every household in America talking about Sophia Rossi not only in the bedroom, but also at the dinner table.”
With her new contract, Rossi now wears a custom-made, Club Jenna gold crown necklace that is embedded with a pink diamond that Jameson gave to all of her exclusive girls.
