Leaving the porn industry at 20, Draghixa [a literal phonetic transcription of how her real Yugoslavian name is supposed to be pronounced] hadn't planned a career change. That's when she crossed paths with W.A.R.R.I.O. (aka Hervé Deangeli). Draghixa learned her musical skills through a series of nights out and developed her own style. Gradually, she made a name for herself and became a resident DJ at the Mezzanine of the Alcazar, then at Man Ray. She then launched Girly Parties with Chloé, the Clarks, WAD, and WAX magazine parties, and prepared blind tests for Thierry Ardisson's cult TV show "Tout le monde en parle".

In 1993, she makes the big leap into adult pornography on her partner's advice staring in amateurs films.
Her remarkable performance in the film "Offertes à tout" / "Open to Anything" Vol.3 (1993) directed by Michel Ricaud for Marc Dorcel video makes her the new French porn sensation.
The machine is in motion, and porn professionals start to solicit this creature with exceptional physical potential. Requested from all sides, the pretty brunette gives in to the producers' advances and starts shooting one after another, quickly acquiring a comfortable reputation.
In 1995, she leave France for the United States and appears in many gonzo hardcore films.
The same year, she is awarded a prestigious Hot d'Or (the Oscars of French adult industry) trophy for best European actress in "Le Parfum de Mathilde" [fr] (The Scent Of Mathilde), a film directed by Marc Dorcel, but decides to stop definitively her pornographic carrier for fear of HIV just a few months later.
Her short porn career is very notable for her near perfect physique and her abilities in fellatio and anal scenes.
She unsuccessfully attempts to get into the music industry in 1996, releasing on Warner Music France her one and only solo music single "Dream" under her famous porn moniker "Draghixa".
The following year, she provides vocals for the song "Did You Test?" (a porn reference to blood tests) by French DJ & producer Lapsus (aka Hervé Deangeli).
