Passionate about music since his childhood, he soon gives imitation Berbers most popular singers, as Idir, Djurdjuran Jamal Allam, and especially the rising star of the music of the Rif, Walid Mimoun. After a start in which he was heavily influenced by Western artists, particularly in the Anglo-Saxon world (the first song is called Love me, baby), will be crucial for him a meeting with the poet El Wariachi Abdelrafi which will arouse in him the desire to compose songs in Berber, particularly through the music of his poems. This gives rise to Tamwart inu. After the success of his first album, he decided to commit to a quality music production and study, among other things, musical knowledge with courses in music theory in France, ethnic music and music choir. Although its most valuable asset is his voice, Izri also plays several instruments, including the guitar, harmonica and adjun (percussion instrument typical of the Rif).
