Soko, born Stéphanie Sokolinski in 1985 and hailing from Bordeaux, arrived in 2007 with "I'll Kill Her", a debut single so deadpan and so strange it's hard to know whether to laugh or back away slowly. It caught on across Europe and in Australia, reached number three in Denmark, and came packaged on her first EP, Not Sokute, released through Because Music.
She took her time with the full-length. I Thought I Was an Alien finally came out in 2012, carrying "We Might Be Dead by Tomorrow", which got a big boost when it was used in the short film First Kiss. My Dreams Dictate My Reality followed in 2015 and Feel Feelings in 2020.
Acting runs in parallel. She has worked in French productions since the early 2000s, earned a César nomination for Most Promising Actress for In the Beginning, won praise and prizes for playing the title role in Augustine, and was nominated for Best Actress at the Césars for The Dancer, playing Loie Fuller.
