Sonny Hall (born 10 June 1998)[4][5] is an English model and poet.[6][7][8][9] Hall released his debut poetry collection, The Blues Comes With Good News, through Hodder & Stoughton in September 2019.[10][11][12] He is signed to Kate Moss's modelling agency and is known as a prominent figure within the modern London modelling scene.[13][14][15]
Early life
Hall was born and raised in south west London.[16][17] He was adopted at age four but maintained contact with his birth mother.[6] He dropped out of fashion school in 2014.[6] He began using drugs in his teenage years, but fell into an addiction soon after his birth mother died of a heroin overdose in 2015. He rehabilitated at The Cabin Chiang Mai addiction clinic in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2017.[16][18]
Career
Hall's career started when he was scouted at a gig in Camden Town circa 2014.[16] In 2015, he modelled in British fashion photographer Nick Knight's fashion film, Yungsters.[19] Hall first began writing in 2017 when he was in rehab in Thailand.[20][9] He shortly began posting his own poetry on his personal Instagram account.[21] Hall released debut poetry collection The Blues Comes With Good News, which sold over 1.5 thousand copies with its first edition in just six months.[6] He consequently was hired by British fashion designer Christopher Bailey for one of his Burberry campaigns alongside model Adwoa Aboah.[6][21] Hall's poetry also caught the attention of British singer Rita Ora who starred him in her music video for her single "Let You Love Me".[21][18] Hall also toured with British musician and "good friend" Bakar in 2018, with whom he performed his own poetry.[22] Hall made the front cover of both GQ Korea,[23][24] and Italian magazine Di Repubblica in April 2020.[25]
