SoKo (born October 26, 1985 in Bordeaux ; bourgeois Stéphanie Alexandra Mina Sokolinski ) is a French singer and actress .

Life

Her father had Polish-Russian roots and died when SoKo was five years old. Her mother is Italian-French. At the age of 16, SoKo left home and moved to Paris, where she attended drama school. Today she lives in Los Angeles . The stage name SoKo is based on Sokolinski's nickname. Characteristic of their English songs is their penetrating French accent.

In 2007 Soko landed a hit in Denmark with the song I'll Kill Her . It is also known and successful in Australia , the Netherlands , Belgium and Germany . For example, she performed on the Radio Fritz birthday “Fritz 15” on March 1, 2008 in the Arena Berlin . Around four years after the hit single I'll Kill Her was released, the Frenchwoman's first full album was released in 2012: I Thought I Was an Alien , which she recorded with Elliott Smith producer Fritz Michaud. The songs fluctuate between melancholy neo-folk, experimental punk and indie rock. Soko's French accent is no longer so pronounced and no longer a stylistic device.

In spring 2012 the singer went on a European tour and came to Munich, Cologne and Hamburg for a handful of concerts in Germany. Her song We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow is the soundtrack to First Kiss by Tatia Pilieva, which rose to a viral video hit in spring 2014 and reached over 125 million clicks (as of January 7, 2018) on YouTube.

For her role in Xavier Giannoli's drama Der Retter , she received a César nomination for best young actress in 2010 .
