It was her good friend Marian Rivera who helped her decide the big shift in her career.

She chose Roxee B, as her new screen name for her since it reflects the new her, classy, sexy and confident.

Roxanne has a new song entitled “Wow!” of which she originally composed and wrote the lyrics and talks about the experiences she had learned from her life. It’s about moving on, about girl power and believing in yourself as a woman and trusting God to tell you what to do. Roxanne a.k.a. Roxee B. is an image of a real woman today, ready to face everything that comes her way with that power inside her. She believes everything has its own time as long as you wait patiently.
