==Biography== Miss.Tic was born in 1956 in Montmartre, France, to a Tunisian immigrant father and a French mother from Normandy. She spent her childhood there until 1964 when the family moved to Orly, in the southern suburbs of Paris. She lost her mother, her little brother, and her grandmother in a car accident at the age of ten; her father died six years later. She was then raised by her stepmother, a barmaid. She escaped from that world and quickly started to work on her stencils. In the early 1980s, she spent a few years in California, among punk milieus of San Francisco and Los Angeles.
