Sol Romero is an actress born in Mexico City, and of Mexican and Swiss descent, she began singing when she was 13.

When her family moved to the Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende is when and where she had her first brush with the entertainment industry, fortuitously found her way onto the set of the Robert Rodriguez film “Once Upon a Time in Mexico.”

At that moment she was the camera double for Eva Mendez, one of the film’s stars. After that, Sol decided to pursue a career and went on to study acting at the world-famous RADA Academy in London.

She’s appeared in such films as “Casino Royale” (Daniel Craig), “The Legend of Zorro” (Antonio Banderas), “Edge of Darkness” (Mel Gibson), and most recently “Memory” (Liam Neeson, 2022).

Music is another passion for her. In 2015, she became an instant sensation in Switzerland with the release of her single “Turn It Up” which shot straight into the top ten on the Swiss music charts, followed immediately by the release of “Money Makes the World Go Round” featuring renowned Moroccan-American rapper French Montana, who also appeared in the video.

We got the opportunity to talk to this fascinating individual about her music, acting, fashion, and life.

Sol, you have a good experience in the entertainment world. In your opinion what is the hardest thing to do when trying to build a solid career in the entertainment industry?

I think the hardest thing that you can ever do is to open yourself a path where you can walk. It’s either by luck or really hard work. Like almost everybody says, if it’s hard work, it’s really hard work.

Much has been said about the participation of Latin American talent in the industry, equal rights, opportunities, and so on. Being Mexican, what is your perception of this?

I love that we are a mix of every culture. Especially Latin, because that’s part of my roots. Seeing it, and being able to listen, and being able to see how it flourishes, that’s definitely something I love and I enjoy. It makes me very happy and proud.

Let’s talk about “Memory,” your most recent movie. What was your role on the movie and how was the experience of working with so many other talented people?

It was actually funny because I was a bartender with Guy Pearce and I didn’t have a line, but in one of the scenes he was supposed to pay the tab and he says “Hey! Sol!” My name is Solveig, but my nickname is Sol. My husband, who was the director, thought it was really funny and that we should just to leave it as it is. So, in the movie, he calls me by my real name, which I thought was kind of cute.

What position does your music career occupy in your life at this moment?

I love music. Right now I’m working with Sargento Rap on another song. And I have another new song I need to record too. I was working with a really cool producer on it. We worked on it together and we’re trying to also have a featured artist on it. That’s what I’m doing right now with music.

In artistic terms, if you had to choose music or acting, what would you choose and why?

That’s such a hard one. I don’t really know. I guess I would choose music. Because I love singing non-stop, even in the house, in the shower, wherever I am, with my daughter, anything. I just love singing.

We were stalking your Instagram account and we already noticed that you are a great fashion enthusiast. How do you perceive it? Do you consider it a form of expression?

I love fashion. Who doesn’t like fashion? Colors, combinations, styles, anything can be possible with fashion, so that’s definitely something I love. The way I dress is always how I feel. If I have a bad day, I’ll dress all in black. If I feel super happy, I’ll dress up in happy colors. Like pink, bright white, yellow. And if I feel kind of weird and quirky, my dress will be super odd. It always depends on my mood, I guess.

If you could talk to the young Sol, what advice would you give her?

Save money! Be more outgoing. Just do what you want do and be free.
