Personal Life:
SoKo was born in Bordeaux, France from a Polish father and a French-Italian mother. She has used the nickname Soko for as long as she can remember. Leaving home at age 16, SoKo quit school and moved to Paris to start acting class, where she studied for one year. She then resumed her education at several different schools, but quickly became tired of it and dropped out. She later appeared in several French films and began to write songs. In 2016 it was revealed that SoKo and Kristen Stewart were dating. “I’m very, very, very in love and very happy in a relationship,” SoKo told W magazine in March of that same year.
