Aziza Mustafa Zadeh is a classically trained pianist and singer. She grew up in the former soviet republic of Azerbaijan as the daughter of Vagif Mustafa Zadeh , a jazz composer and pianist, to whom lots of Aziza's works are dedicated, and of Eliza Khanom, a singer, who is now her manager. She currently lives in Mainz, Germany.

Aziza started playing the piano when she was 3 years old, gave her first concerts at 14, and won her first international prizes at age 17. "It would have been a sin not to use this god-given gift," she muses. Next to God her parents are Aziza's most important musical leaders, especially her father. He tragically died at the early age of 39 of a heart attack after a performance in Uzbekistan, an event both devastating and strangely motivating for the ten-year old girl: With Vagif's death she not only lost her father but a source of inspiration and a gifted mentor for whose unceasing creativity Aziza continues to have the highest appreciation. "He was a genius. A true genius." Vagif continued to influence his daughter beyond his death it seems. Commenting on his death she muses: "For me, my father has never died. He simply has left this earth. I still feel his energy surrounding me. Sometimes, it's like his soul is flying around me, you know. There are times when I give concerts that I feel his presence so strongly, it's almost tangible. It's like I could reach out and touch him." Little surprise that her father is omnipresent in Aziza's work, be it in the form of one of his compositions or in a song dedicated to him.
