Adji Kane Ouza Diallo, better known as Adiouza, is a Senegalese female artist born in Dakar, Senegal to a musician father, Ousmane Diallo, whose stage name is Ouza, and a mother-in-training secretary.  Raised in a musical milieu since her childhood, Adiouza took his first steps on the music scene alongside her brother Sheikh Lô Ouza Diallo,  who is a pianist, singer and chorister, who also served as a mentor.

Her brother introduced her to jazz and accompanied her to clubs such as Le Meridien, Novotel, Just 4 u, and the Marie Lucienne inn. Noticed by the director of the Inn, Ousmane Diop, the latter gave her his support for the realization of his first model with a flagship song on the fight against AIDS. However, to start playing music meant for Father Ouza, to continue studying and to become "the intellectual of the family".
