Sudano was born in Los Angeles, California, to Donna Summer and Bruce Sudano.

Her eldest half sister—from her mother's first marriage to Helmut Sommer—is Mimi Sommer Dohler. Her older sister is actress Brooklyn Sudano.

Sudano spent the early part of her childhood in Thousand Oaks, California. In 1995 when she was 13, her family moved to Nashville, Tennessee where she attended high school at Christ Presbyterian Academy and college at Vanderbilt University.

Sudano is the maternal cousin of music producer Omega Red.

Sudano is the niece of Fr. Glenn Sudano, CFR, a Roman Catholic priest and founding member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in New York City.

Sudano is a model with the Bella Agency in New York.

In 2010, Fabrizio Viti chose Sudano to model for Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2010 shoe campaign. Sudano is the first black model to be featured solely in Louis Vuitton advertisements.

In September 2011, Sudano placed second out of twenty in Vogue's "Special Edition Best Dressed" feature.

In 2005, Sudano met songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Abner Ramirez in Nashville. They struck up a friendship and formed the band Johnnyswim. The duo perform covers of eclectic songs like Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose" and Britney Spears's "Till The World Ends".
