After the separation of her parents, it is found in France at age the 3 years and its childhood proceeds in the Département of the Essonne to Brunoy then Massy but it is in Ulis that it will pass the major part of its adolescence and will meet Sinik. It is a single child raised by a mother who works in the event-driven musical one. She discovers the Bagneux]] which occurs especially in festivals of district. She meets there Yannick, future member of the '' [[Trece Maffia]] ''. Diam' S contacts in solo the radio Generations and lance a freestyle on line with the emission presented by Kemar. This last proposes direct with the antenna to him and it meets there the Echo group of the South. Under the impulse of DJO, cousin of Yannick, assembles a collective which becomes the '' Mafia Trece ''.
In [[1996]] the group first maximum leaves 4 titles which is a certain success, where Diam' S appears on two pieces: '' Rencontre of the 13 {{E}} standard '' and '' I plead for the street ''. Diam' S is quickly made a name in the medium, thanks to its participations on the 1 {{er}} album of [[Trece Maffia]] the '' [[Cosa Nostra]] '' in [[1997]] and an appearance on mythical the '' Phonographe '' with [[ATK]] which will remain a reference for the purists.
It parallel to takes part various '' [[mixtape|Mix-slaps]] '' and meets [[Black Mozart]], type-setter of the '' Ménage to 3 '' and producer at the origin of his professional beginnings. In [[1998]] it takes part in compilation '' Let us can say not '' and to the round '' Ménage to 3 ''.
It signs its first contract of edition at BMG. Its first album '' First Mandate '' in production at AB is distributed confidentially on the independent label Reel Up in [[1999]]. It there invites [[Mr R]], [[Driver]] and [[Vibe]] French side and gives up its studies to devote itself fully to the rap (“I finished my first. I stopped right before the bac [http://www.lexpress.fr/mag/arts/dossier/rap/dossier.asp?ida=451009 “the universe of Diam' S: Intimate confessions”], '' the Express train '', [[August 31st]] [[2006]]. ”).
The album does not know that a success of regard (8 000 sales) in spite of the appearance of American guests like '' FD '' alias [[Khrist]] and [[Heather B]]. Diam' S meets then [[Choukri]] with the '' Francofolies '' which will be its manager until 2004 and will open new doors to him.
In [[2000]], Diam' S takes again '' Saïd and Mohamed '' of [[Francis Cabrel]] of which it is a large admiror.
She makes duets noticed with [[Lady Laistee]] ('' a Little respect ''), and [[Kamnouze]] ('' Promise '') with an appearance of [[Jango Jack]] and deposits in [[2001]] the title '' Suzy '' diffused on compilation '' Original Bombattack '' of the radio [[Generations (radio)|Generations 88.2]]. The piece is taken again on [[Internet]] and will ensure a certain fame but any resource to him. It accumulates then the appearances in [[featuring]], the participations in the radio programs but also of the odd jobs of night to survive from day to day. '' Suzy '' arrives at the ears of [[Jamel Debbouze]] which becomes his/her friend and “mentor”.
It prepares finally its second album, heading '' 1980 '' and the recording company [[EMI Group|EMI]] proposes a contract in April to him [[2002]]. The project is abandoned following a reorganization of EMI whereas the two titles '' Pogo '' and '' 1980 '' are diffused by a journalist on Internet before their exit officielle. [http://www.brakmart.net/Interview-Diam-s_a199.html Interview of Diam' S (2004)]
===La médiatisation===
The dépitée singer learns the lessons and understands from them that it is necessary to build a solid plan of career and to accept a stronger mediatization to leave the confidential circle of the Parisian rappeurs only diffused on Mix Slaps or via Internet. She signs finally on an important label Hostile http://www.hostile.fr/ after protracted negotiations. The pieces are worked over again then finally integrated into its second album, '' " Gross of femme" '' while profiting from instrumentations polished and an important promotion on radios like [[Skyrock]].
She starts finally a round in October [[2003]] with a first concert with the dairy of [[Strasbourg]] then on October 20th, 2003 with [[Elysium Montmartre]], her first large Parisian scene, before a turn of France which finishes at [[Bataclan]] on January 20th, 2004.
She makes known herself general public with her individual '' " DJ" '', based musicalement on the song '' [[Sway (song)|Sway (Quien will be)]] '', not very representative of its style but largely relayed by the media, thanks to a video clip very dancing taken again on the music channels like [[MCA (music channel)|MCA]]. The refrain is addressed particularly to the teenagers in an agreed language: {{Quotation|Leave me kiffer the vibe with my guy, I am not mood with that one takes the head}} to me ('' vibe '' = vibration; '' kiffer '' = to appreciate).
'' [[Gross of woman]] '' quickly becomes gold disc, which attracts the lightnings and the jealousy of some to him, whereas it is adulated by a young public which is identified with the topics that it approaches. It also takes down it [[Victoire of the music]] for the best album rap, [[Hip hop]] of the year [[2004]] and becomes the first raspy one with success of France.
It militates for the recognition of the women. It fustigates violence with the daily newspaper. Paradoxically, some of its songs, they also, explicitly are however impressed violence. She also speaks about the hopes and disappointments about youth. She expresses there her vision of the life in suburbs. Its fans admire his natural outspokenness, its '' [[flow]] '' and also the simplicity which it knew to preserve in spite of success.
It militates for [[international Amnesty]] and votes it young people and gives a also opinion against [[the National front (left French)|National front]] in its song '' Marine '' devoted to [[Marine Le Pen]] but also against “[[Nicolas Sarkozy|Sarko]] the démago” that she does not hesitate to qualify “facho” over scene on the title '' My France with me ''. Its detractors reproach him for engaging only on easy subjects '' '' (to support the women, to denounce violence and it [[extreme right-hand side]]) and for too often tackling the problems of [[suburbs]] S.
Its texts and its style do not achieve however the unanimity. Thus in [[2004]], it is present at [[festival of Dour]] in [[Belgium]] and comes out from scene at the end of a few minutes only after having been the target of projectiles (quills, goblets, lumps of earth…).
The year [[2005]] confirms the success of the album '' Brut of Woman '' and the dedication of the omnipresent artist on scene as in the media.
=== '' In my bubble '' ===
Its third album, '' [[In my bubble]] '', was already sold with more {{formatnum: 600000}} specimens. Double platinum disc, musical album more sold in France during the year 2006 [http://www.infodisc.fr/Ventes_Album06.php Classification of the CD sales in France (2006)], it was republished in edition collector with CD containing six titles live recorded with the Nave of Angouleme at the time of the round of spring, '' To the Turn of my bubble ''. It also makes it possible to be connected “in the bubble” of Diam' S on its official Web site. In July [[2006]], [[Universal Music Group|Universal]] chose Diam' S to be an artistic director of its new label: [[Motown]] France, emanation of the famous American label.
Diam' S.A. received on November 2nd, 2007 the '' MTV european music award '' of the French artist of the année. [http://www.diams-lesite.com/DIAMS/html/main.htm | Official site]
It carried out a new series in concerts through France starting from October 27th, 2006. For this round, baptized '' My France with Me in Concert '' Diam' S was accompanied by 3 new chorus-singers: [[Severe (singer)|Severe]] (regarded as the best first part of its preceding round), Meelady and Maeva. They come all three from [[Strasbourg]] and were illustrated within the female group '' Meufia '', of the collective '' the sounds of the street '' [http://www.sonsdlarue.com/severepresentation.htm | sounds of the street: severe] and of the group '' Ghetto Clan Kampbell ''.
In [[2007]], a new album was envisaged in collaboration with [[Sinik]]. They knew each other with the college and with him it already had shared a first national round in [[1999]] and several appearances in particular on its album '' " 2000-1" (1999) '', as well as the clip in duet '' " Same blood (2006) " ''.
==== '' the pellet '' ====
In [[2006]], its new tube '' the Pellet '' extracts from the album '' In my bubble '' constitutes a sharp criticism of the generation of the singer, in particular through a description without nuances of the evils which are intrinsically related to the young people born in [[years 1980]]. Once again, the singer engages and expresses her feelings on the company in which it evolves/moves: “Y has as a taste of hatred when I walk in my city/Y has as a taste of embarrassment when I speak about my life/Y has as a taste of sourness in the young people of the year 2000/Y has as a taste of error when I see suicide rate… Y has like a taste of [[demagogy|démago]] in the mouth of [[Nicolas Sarkozy|Sarko]]…” This tube met a sharp success, as well near the young people as near the older people, as its very many diffusions testify some on radios general practitioners.
The refrain “generation nan nan” of this song became a slogan (even if the term were not invented by Diam' S).
In June 2006, a polemic was born in a school from the English Channel with [[Hambye]] where two teachers studied with their pupils the song of Diam' S. In question, the raw and militant words (in particular against [[Nicolas Sarkozy]]) which displeased with certain parents who made pressure to force one of the two teachers to ask for her departure, the second having required its change before this incident.
