Born in Dakar, Adji Kane Ouza Diallo grew up in a musical family. Her father, Ousmane Diallo, is none other than Ouza, a Senegalese musician famous for his mbalax music, born of the encounter between traditional Wolof rhythms and Western instruments, and the commitment of his lyrics. Naturally, Adiouza (her stage name) was introduced to music, as was her brother, who introduced her to the world of jazz. It was with her brother that she performed her first concerts as a singer and dancer, and began to make a name for herself, notably in the clubs Le Méridien, Just4U and the Auberge Marie Lucienne in Dakar. Her manager spotted her and encouraged her to produce her first demos. In 2004, she moved to Paris to study ethnomusicology, where Adiouza met Samba Laobé N'diaye, a bassist with whom she joined the Paris music scene. In 2008, she released her first album, Maadou, arranged by her brother and produced by Ibou N'dour. The album proved a big hit in Senegal, with the title track and a cover of Georges Bizet's Carmen in mbalax style. The success of this first album propelled Adiouza to the title of "female revelation" of 2008. Building on her success, she continued her career in music, with a second album in 2013, Li Ma Doon, as well as a number of songs revealed to the public from time to time, such as "Daddy" (2015) and "Ya Rassoul " (2019). Now a female ambassador of Senegalese music, Adiouza has become a role model for many young people, and a unifying force: her songs "Madame Bonheur" (2020) and "Monsieur Bonheur " (2022), which deal with relationships and the status of women, attract millions of listeners.
