Career[]
At the turn of the millennium, Julia was fully immersed in the international Hip Hop scene; she was the face of the “Homecore” street clothing brand alongside Joey Starr. Julia appeared in music videos alongside artists such as Method Man (Judgement Day), Lord Kossity (Dancehall Soldier), Menelik (Bye Bye), Stomy Bugsy (Ho Le Le), and rock band Silmarils (Cours Vite). Julia presented various TV and Web shows for Canal+ in France before starting her own music program “Hip Hop Channel” on the MCM network in 2001 where she interviewed the likes of Alicia Keys, Busta Rhymes, Eve, Xibit, etc.
After posing for magazines such as Playboy Penthouse in the early 1990s,[1] She also starred in a number of films, such as Les truffes alongside Jean Reno, Frères (1994), Coup de vice (1996) together with Samy Naceri, and Recto/Verso (1999).[2] In addition, she starred in a series of TV-movies produced and broadcast by M6 Television,[3] and, in 2001, she hosted the TV-program Le journal du hard on Canal+.[4]
Julia started her modelling career at 18 and has covered a wide range of projects from glamour, lingerie, classic fashion, and was the first black woman in France to feature as a cover model in glamour magazines. Julia has featured on hundreds of covers all over the world. As Julia says, “It is always a struggle for a black woman to appear on the cover of a magazine, even in the Glamour industry and you have to fight constantly for recognition.” Julia's love of photography continues today, and she now enjoys being on both sides of the camera.
Julia has kept herself very busy on other projects. She is a real adventurer in every sense of the word: she became the heroine of a comic strip of the “Girl Power” genre.In 2012, she started her own musical career, releasing her first single "Forever in a Day" from her debut album Colours.[5] in the music video she had as a guest star the Football legend Didier Drogba.[6]
The song has been a very big succes all over Europe.
In 2008, Channel published an autobiography entitled L'enfer vu du ciel (The hell seen from the sky).[7][8]
In 2010, she created a dating service website for singles called Mecacroquer.[9]
