Born on February 12, 1965 in New York, Mia Frye has built a career as dynamic as her famous “happy face”! Introduced to the mainstream in 2001 on Popstars on M6, and again in 2007, where she served as a judge and choreographer for the group L5, she has imposed her style and frankness. But to reduce Mia Frye to television would be unjust. Before and after the cameras, she choreographed global hits like Macarena and Yakalelo, walked for Fatima Lopes in 2002, and participated in La Ferme Célébrités in 2004.
More discreet on screen today, she remains very active: she still teaches Street Jazz Hip-Hop at the Centre de Danse du Marais in Paris, where she has been sharing her passion for over thirty years. On Instagram, she regularly shares the progress of her students, proving that the stage has never really left her.
Mia Frye: who is her mother, a famous singer? Her interest in light, Mia Frye does not owe it to chance. She is the daughter of Radiah Frye, an American model and artist who settled in France in the 1970s. Radiah Frye appears on the cover of the album Nino and Radiah released in 1974 alongside Nino Ferrer. This image has become iconic, to the point that its disappearance in the 2004 reissue surprised collectors. But Radiah Frye is not just this iconic photo: she was also a back-up singer for Johnny Hallyday, a songwriter, and an actress who appeared in several films in the late 1970s. A rich artistic career between music, cinema, and fashion that has inevitably influenced Mia Frye. Growing up with a mother accustomed to studios and tours has shaped her character and a strong sense of showmanship.
Mia Frye recently back on screen Recently, a highly anticipated project has put Mia Frye back in the spotlight. A few months ago, she joined the telefilm Filip, dedicated to Filip Nikolic, leader of 2Be3. On set, she resumed her role as a coach, thirty years after accompanying the boy band at its inception. As the teams recreated the Bercy concert in December 1998, she has not lost any of her rigor. “Head down, arms stretched out,” she instructs the actors, determined to find the energy of that time.
Mikaël Mittelstadt, who plays Filip, reveals: “I took flexibility, acrobatics, dance classes”. An intense effort to bring this period back to life. Mia Frye, on the other hand, continues to do what she does best: transmit rhythm, discipline, and a little magic from the 90s.
