She made her debut on the big screen in 2004 in the comedy Iznogoud with Michaël Youn and recorded a track available on the film’s soundtrack.
She then devoted herself to music and landed the title role in the musical Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt. In 2009, she played Aïcha, in the eponymous series of 4 episodes broadcast on France 2. From then on, she devoted herself to her acting career and appeared in Meurtres en Auvergne, the series Insoupçonnable, Kepler(s), La Promesse and even The Fighters. She also appears in the casting of the action films Overdose by Olivier Marchal and Antigang: La Relais where she opposite Alban Lenoir and Jean Reno.

Sofia Essaidi is Victoria Vance
The Super Patrol is her first experience in voice dubbing, and offers her the opportunity to let go by playing a villain for the first time. An experience that she really liked, as she confided to AlloCiné.
Singer Marianne James returns to dubbing and lends her voice to Janet, the owner of the scrapyard alongside Hank. The juror of the show France has an unbelievable talent has already lent her voice to Madame Astrakhan in Happy Feet (2006) and to Captain Chantal Dubois in Madagascar 3 in 2012.
His friend Hank is voiced here by the star of children’s song Aldebert. The singer also performs the song “Amis” from the film’s soundtrack. A title composed by Giaocchino Maurici and Cyril Nobillet and written by Bruno Guglielmi and Guillaume Aldebert.
