Viola Haqi (born in Amsterdam, Netherlands) is a Dutch fashion model of mixed Dutch and Iraqi heritage.[1]
Her mother worked at an insurance company and her father was a chef. Haqi auditioned for the Conservatory of Amsterdam, but turned it down because of the six year length training course. She entered into modelling when a model stopped her on the street and convinced her to come back to her modeling agency. After moving to Paris, her career in modelling started to kick off as she was featured in 13 French Elle covers in the course of one year.
Later moving and spending two years in New York, she found herself earning a successful career in the advertising and catalogue market. Viola later became part of the rock band "Mink", shuffling her time between modeling jobs and gigs at New York City venues like Brownies. Not long before moving to London to focus more on her musical career, she moved back to New York to restart her career back at Q Management and cultivating advertising campaigns for Thermasilk and Biore; television commercials for Lexus and Clairol; and the covers of Shape and Eve magazines.
