BIOGRAPHY

SoKo (born Stéphanie Sokolinski) is a French singer and actress. She was born in Bordeaux, France 26 October 1986 to a Polish family and was raised there along with four siblings. She has been called SoKo as far back as she can remember. After appearing in several French movies, she got her start as a singer after she asked the director if she could sing on screen. In 2007 and 2008 "I'll kill her" became a hit song in a number of countries, including Denmark, Austria and Belgium. She now resides in Los Angeles.

Soko's music is no longer available for download from iTunes. But some of it can be streamed at her MySpace page.

Amazon US has the film Clara's Summer, and no others. AMAZON FRANCE has more.
