Sonja Gjokaj, Makeup artist

“Born in Rome and raised in Germany, I inherited my creative spirit from my late father Gjelosh Gjokaj, who was an established artist from Montenegro. Following in his footsteps, I pursued a career in art and design which eventually led me to becoming a makeup artist.”

I've had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with an incredibly diverse and inclusive range of clients, from renowned media personalities to esteemed Nobel Prize winners, innovative thinkers, and talented musicians spanning various genres.

My work encompasses a wide spectrum, from national marketing productions to broadcasting media as well as feature film.

My high profile client list includes: Damian Lewis, Tony Robbins, Gina McKee, Angelique Kidjo, Diana Rigg, Gregg Allman, Paul Simon, George Foreman, Nancy Kerrigan, Vampire Weekend, Celtic Thunder, Jean Marsh, Henry Kissinger, George Pataki, Gwen Ifill, Chris Botti and Sr. Derek Jacobi, to name a few.

SG had the privilege of working with global and national networks such as PBS, NBC, MTV, Food Network, TLC and Universal Music as well as publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Conde Nast, Yoga Journal and Elle Sweden.

I’m looking forward to contribute to your next project!
