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".
