How it started

Early life and education

Losique is the daughter of Mimi (d. 2009) and Serge Losique, and is the youngest of three siblings. Her father Serge is founder of the Montreal World Film Festival. She has described herself as half Québécois and half Croatian. After studying at the Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, a private school in Montreal, Quebec, she studied theatre at the Paris-Sorbonne University in France.

1995–2009

As host of the syndicated television programme, Box-office, starting in 1995, Losique held interviews with celebrities. Ben Affleck's appearances, in particular, became "legendary" among viewers, according to the Montreal Gazette. During this time, in 2001, she gained an interest in adult film production while recording for the programme at the Hot d'Or adult film festival in Cannes, France. It inspired her next venture, Sex Shop, which she hosted from 2001 to 2005, and during that time conducted interviews with celebrities such as Robin Williams and Penélope Cruz. According to Maclean's magazine, Sex Shop attracted almost half a million viewers (about six per cent of Quebec’s population) every Saturday night to watch a "mélange of interviews with men and women in the adult entertainment industry and the sex trade, faux-risqué documentaries on sex toys and swinger couples and scenes from soft-focus smut movies." She was also the last person to interview the iconic Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni.

With her then-boyfriend Marc Trudeau, Losique co-founded the production company, Image Diffusion International (IDI) in 1995. It produced at least 150 hours of television programming by 2004; this included the adult TV programme SeXstar, which featured interviews with people in the adult film industry. Her company produced the MusiMax reality show La vie rurale (The Rural Life), an adaptation of the U.S. programme The Simple Life, starring singer Jacynthe Millette-Bilodeau and herself. A mockumentary starring Losique, Bimbo, followed in 2006. For the 2009 television series Au Lit avec Anne-Marie, she held interviews with celebrities while sharing a bed with each of them. Other IDI productions include the talk show 3950 and Pole Position Québec, a 2010 reality show which searched for the best stripper in Quebec.

As a singer, she performed under the stage name AML.
