When Sökol was still a toddler, her parents divorced and her mother married Fernando Diez Barroso, an executive at Televisa. As a child, she was known as Sasha Diez Barroso, but now goes by her paternal name, Sokol. She studied at the Colegio Peterson and later at the Centro de Educación ArtÃstica of Televisa. At that time, the music and television producer Luis de Llano Macedo was seeking to create a Mexican version of the band ParchÃs, and Sökol held castings at the CEA.
