Douzi Biography

DOUZI is a Moroccan singer born to an Algerian
mother, Moroccan father, Belgian resident, untiring traveler.Best Male North Africa  AFRIMMA AWARD 2016 Nominees

Between the heat of the sounds of
Maghreb and the effectiveness of the pop rhythms and magnet, between the
melodies of the South and ambiences of North, DOUZI does not choose: he
includes, integrates, and enriches.

Surrounded by
his 6 brothers and sisters, since the age of 3, the little DOUZI is
already flirting with music, and at 5 years old, he easily publicly
interpreted his first song composed by his brother Kader – a former
“RAI” singer, composer-songwriter and centerpiece of his career- during
the time of a television show in Rabat. The song was called “La lilharb”, meaning “No to war”, and was an immediate success.

At
a certain time, DOUZI will hesitate between the way of the drawing – in
which he excels – and that of the music. The year 1993 will sign his
choice, when within the framework of the “Festival of the youth”,
organized by the radio station of Oujda (Morocco), DOUZI receives his
first diploma of merit… whereas he was the youngest singer of the
competition. From that moment, he was propelled and DOUZI became the
child prodigy of RAI. DOUZI grows, and his talent grows with him.
 In 1994, Douzi is 8 years old when he records his first album “Goulou Imumti tjini”,
(Mom comeback to me). The masterpiece touches many hearts, especially
those of the mothers. The result: More than 700,000 copies sold in
Morocco.

Ever since, many albums followed. Prodigious singer of Rai,
he did not cease opening the horizons of this genre of music by singing
in French, Arabic, English, Turkish, Spanish or Hindi; and creating by
this his new own style of music.
