In an interview she revealed she felt excluded as a child, saying "maybe not just fitting in is the biggest thing I've had to overcome". Her first composition was inspired by this feeling of exclusion, in which she embraced people's differences.

Faouzia began writing songs and poems when she was five years old and playing piano at the age of six. She later studied how to play guitar and violin.
