Douzi began his career at a young age, appearing on Moroccan television with the song "La Lil Harb" ("No to war"), composed by his brother and manager, Kader Douzi.[citation needed] The song became an instant success.[citation needed] In 1993, he took part in The Youth Festival, organized by a radio station in Oujda, becoming the youngest participant that year.[citation needed] In 1994, he recorded his first album, Goulou Imumti Tjini ("Tell mommy to come back to me") and in 1997, he released his first music video, "Rwahi Liya".[citation needed] In 2004, his song "Yali Nassini" became a radio hit, and he was invited to record a track for the compilation Rai n' B Fever 2 on Columbia/Sony BMG.[citation needed] In 2008, Douzi launched the label Linatop Production and went on tour to promote his new studio album, 100% Douzi.[citation needed] He has since published several more records, including a greatest hits album, and a string of singles, including "Laayoun Ainiya", "Douni Lebladi", "Lmouja", and "Dina".[3]
In August 2016, Douzi was decorated with the Moroccan national order of merit (Ouissam Al Moukafâa Al Wataniya) by King Mohammed VI.[citation needed] In November 2017, he was the winner of DAF BAMA 2017 in Hamburg, for Best Moroccan Singer.[4]
