What does Sol from ‘Love Island USA’ do for work?
Sol works in fashion modeling, with credits spanning runway, e-commerce, and print. Among her recent bookings is a campaign with New Era. According to her Photogenics profile, she was discovered at the U.S. Open of Surfing. A cheerleading background, she notes, gave her a foundation in movement and flexibility that carried into her modeling work.
Beyond the runway, Sol is a singer-songwriter who writes and records her own music. Her Photogenics bio cites her grandfather’s musical legacy as an early inspiration, while a past interview with Voyage LA points to her father as the person who taught her to sing and introduced her to classic soul duets. She plays cello, violin, and bass, and has been performing since childhood, doing talent shows as early as first grade and staging improv skits with her brother growing up.
Sol describes her creative output as wide-ranging. Per her Photogenics profile, she also paints and crochets. Yoga, hiking, and time outdoors round out her interests, though she notes in her bio that her pugs don’t always share the enthusiasm.
Where is Sol from?
Sol was born in Orange, California, and currently lives in Los Angeles, per Peacock’s blog post. Per the Voyage LA interview, she previously relocated to Chicago, where her extended family lives, and signed with The Rock Agency, a Midwest modeling and talent agency, before eventually returning to California.
She describes the move as a significant challenge, telling Voyage LA she considers herself a “shy extrovert” and found it difficult to start over in an unfamiliar city. She also spoke candidly about being told by agencies to lose inches to book more work — an experience she framed as one of the harder obstacles she had to push through.
