Career

Assia’s music career began in the late 1990s with her involvement in the French hip-hop collective Secteur Ä, contributing to the project Une Affaire de famille (1998–1999) alongside artists like Stomy Bugsy, Passi, and Doc Gynéco. She also featured on the soundtracks for Taxi (1998) and Kiss of the Dragon (2001) with the song “Ghir Dini,” showcasing her ability to fuse R&B with Oriental influences.

Her debut album, Chercheuse d’or (2000), recorded in Paris, Toulouse, and Los Angeles, was a commercial success. Assia wrote the lyrics, while her brother Khalil composed the music. The album’s lead single, “Elle est à toi,” co-written with Calbo of Ärsenik, sold over 700,000 copies, becoming a chart-topping hit in France. The follow-up single, “Là-bas,” directed by J.G. Biggs, further solidified her popularity.

In 2005, Assia released her second album, Encore et Encore, recorded in Spain, with the single “Politiquement Correct” co-written with French rapper Diam’s, showcasing her ability to address social themes. While the album didn’t match the commercial success of her debut, it reinforced her versatility. Assia’s music often blended French pop, R&B, and Oriental elements, reflecting her cultural roots.

She also participated in The Voice France (Season 7, 2018) as a contestant on Team Mika, marking a return to the spotlight after a quieter period. Her performance highlighted her enduring vocal talent, though she didn’t win the competition.

As of 2025, Assia’s recent activities are less documented, suggesting a step back from mainstream music. She has not released new albums since Encore et Encore, but her earlier work continues to resonate with fans of French R&B and pop.
