Early life

Kinski was born in Geneva in Switzerland on March 2, 1986, but lived in Rome with her parents and half-brother Aljosha (who her mother had with Vincent Spano) until the age of 6 years.

Her parents divorced in 1992. She then moved to Los Angeles, where her mother began to have a relationship with musician and producer Quincy Jones. It is the latter that she considers as her true father, who raised and advised her in life. Kinski also has a younger half-sister Kenya, born in 1993.[1][2]

Career

With Nastassja Kinski being an international celebrity in the 1980s and 90s, women's magazines were very interested in her daughter Sonja.

At the age of 14, Kinski already made the cover of the German edition of the Marie Claire magazine of March 2000. Then in the 2000s, she made the covers of Marie Claire (February 2001, Germany), Photo (June 2003, France), Evening Standard (June 2006, United Kingdom), Jalouse (October 2006, France).[3]

In addition to advertisements in the press, she is regularly invited to participate in photo shoots for promotional events.

Kinski is affiliated to the Model Management agency.[4] Her film career began in 2008.
