Origins: Sofiane is Abdel’s younger brother, born and raised in Casablanca.

Work: He is looking for any job that will allow him to earn enough money to work on his hip-hop album. He wants to be the next big thing in Québec.

Love status: He is a player, supposedly in love with all the girls he meets. He will remain single because any woman would pose a huge problem to his carpe diem lifestyle.

Ambitions: He is convinced a music producer will discover him during his rap battles with friends at the community centre. He is not truly ambitious but makes it look like he is.

Personality: Totally selfish, Sofiane lives his life to the fullest, one day at a time. Overly proud, he belongs to the new generation that rejects religious or cultural labels.

Characteristic traits: His friends call him “So Fine” because of his well-groomed beard and his gangsta-chic style.
