If some candidates already had a career before joining the Star Academy, for Julien, it was his brother who was already known to the public after his participation in a tele-hook.
A family resemblance. On October 15, 13 candidates joined the promotion of the new promotion of the star Academy. Among them were some artists whose careers were already well underway. Carla and Stan, for example, had already done the scene in musicals. For others, it was the first real experience. This is particularly the case for Julien. The young Toulonnais was quickly labeled as the “bad boy” by the director, Michael Goldman, and the rest of the faculty.
If this is his first television experience, it is not the first time that a member of his family has taken part in a telecrochet. Indeed, Mathieu Canaby, Julien’s older brother, had participated in the thirteenth season of New star in 2017. And aside from their striking resemblance, the two blue-eyed, soulful-voiced brothers also share some character traits. During his hearing in Marseille, Mathieu Canaby had conquered the four jurors, but had been curtly cropped for his too much insurance.

Mathieu and Julien Canaby linked by “nonchalance”
While he had just interpreted the title to perfection senorita by Justin Timberlake and had convinced the jury, the young singer had thanked them by calling them “the cuties”. A nickname that had not been passed on to Dany Synthé who called him to order before Mathieu Canaby calls him “brother”. If the relationship between the 19-year-old candidate and the jury had not started in the best of ways, this did not prevent the singer from going far in the competition.
Despite some criticism, the singer has risen to fourth place in the competition. And, today, the artist does not fail to support his little brother, whether on the phone or on the set of TPMP in reaction to his argument with Laure Balon. During the famous daily telephone minute, the two brothers had shown their complicity. After the criticism received by Julien, his older brother had reassured him by telling him that the “nonchalance” was definitely part of the family.
