So, have you heard about Sonia Ben Ammar? This young woman born in 1999 in Paris is a diamond in the rough. When I started to take an interest in her, I was struck by her dual identity, French-Tunisian, which shines through in everything she does.
Her age, not so far off, gives the impression that she has been active on all fronts since she was very young. It’s crazy, really, she has a height that really makes her stand out in the modeling world, but the stage is not enough for her; she also sings. Sonia is a real ball of energy.
I also remember how she made a buzz because of her relationship with Brooklyn Beckham. That thing gave her a visibility that she still benefits from today, but it would be really reductive to see her success only through that.
Honestly, discovering her journey captivated me. Between her beginnings in French musical theatre and her first steps in luxury modeling with IMG Models, everything seemed to accelerate very quickly, almost too much for someone her age.
Who is Sonia Ben Ammar? Origins and public image
Sonia Ben Ammar is quite a unique mix. Daughter of Tarak Ben Ammar, a Tunisian film producer, and Beata, a French actress of Polish origin, you can see that cinema and the stage run in her veins. This heiress of an artistic background has forged her path, but always with a very personal touch.
She is mainly known as a model signed with the agency IMG Worldwide, one of the biggest! Not bad for a young woman who started her career in the world of music and entertainment before walking the runway for Miu Miu or appearing in music videos with stars like Sam Smith.
Her authenticity is seductive. We also discover her on Instagram where she opens up a bit more, between projects and personal life. No wonder many want to know more about this rising star that the public loves to follow closely; in fact, you can often see her latest news on her official account.
Ah, and she has that extra something, a height that does not go unnoticed in the very demanding fashion environment. That definitely helps in modeling, believe me.
I bet you didn’t know she started music so young? As a child, she took part in the show L’École des fans with a cover of “Hero” by Mariah Carey, a classic that few young people dare to attempt. This little detail gives a glimpse of her determination while she was still very young.
Promising beginnings to successive successes
Her journey is rich and a bit crazy. In 2012, she signed for a musical comedy, 1789: Les Amants de la Bastille, where she played Charlotte. She enjoyed the stage, but quickly moved to modeling in 2015 with Next Model Management before joining IMG Models in 2016, where her career really took off.
Imagine walking for Miu Miu, then landing a campaign for Dolce & Gabbana alongside Zendaya; it’s not given to everyone. Not to mention her participation in the “Promises” video by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith. We’re clearly talking about a very high level.
On the music side, Sonia is not idle either. She signs as a singer, songwriter, composer under the name Sonia Ammar. In 2017, she collaborated with Petit Biscuit on the track Creation Comes Alive, then released several singles including Joyride and Games in 2019 and an EP of the same name. She manages all that simultaneously, I swear, hats off.
Bonus: her work as a songwriter and composer for artists like Belly, The Weeknd, or Nas is impressive. At 26, her artistic inner fortune is already quite extensive.
Private life, marriage, relationships: a world apart
You have surely heard about her relationship with Brooklyn Beckham, right? This highly publicized love at first sight pushed Sonia into the spotlight, but she keeps a rather discreet private life. It’s not easy to juggle all that when you’re young and under the public eye.
She shares a world where her family holds a special place, especially thanks to her father Tarak, who is a heavyweight in international cinema. She is a woman very attached to her roots, proud of her Tunisian and Polish origins, which often come up in her interviews.
Don’t think otherwise, she knows how to manage her image and acquaintances without losing herself. This mix of public and private life gives her real depth. No wonder she makes so many people fall for her with that certain something.
She has not yet officially married or had children, but you can feel that the question of family matters a lot to her. Probably a project for the future? It’s one of the little mysteries that intrigue her fans.
Anecdotes and recent projects showing her versatility
I love these little hidden details that make Sonia even more fascinating. For example, she participated on Broadway, which is not given to everyone to cross that threshold. And then, acting in Jappeloup by Guillaume Canet is quite a background.
Recently, she has also been involved in several music projects, whether as a songwriter or composer. The ongoing collaboration with big names of the moment clearly shows she is not here by chance.
Here is a little list of her key moments, so you have everything at a glance:
- 🌟 Musical comedy 1789: Les Amants de la Bastille in 2012
- 🌟 Modeling contracts with Next Model Management (2015) then IMG Models (2016)
- 🌟 Runway for Miu Miu and Dolce & Gabbana campaign with Zendaya
- 🌟 “Promises” video (Calvin Harris & Sam Smith) in 2018
- 🌟 Musical collaborations with Petit Biscuit, Belly, The Weeknd, Nas
- 🌟 Actress in Jappeloup and on Broadway
That gives you an idea of the versatility of this young star who never ceases to surprise. To follow her latest adventures, feel free to check her page on Famous Birthdays or even her filmography on AlloCiné.
What I like about Sonia is the energy she puts everywhere, between singing, dancing, modeling, and cinema. Her career is like no other, and you feel like she still has plenty to offer, not just in fashion or music.
For a girl who entered the game quite young, she already has a nice artistic fortune that ensures her future. Her age does not prevent her from thinking globally with highly qualitative international collaborations.
It promises well for what’s next, especially since her universe keeps expanding, between solo projects and duets with figures from the creative world. If you like multifaceted artists, Sonia Ben Ammar is clearly a star to watch.
