In the early 1970’s Moussa made his way from Mali to his mother’s country Denmark. He soon established himself as one of Denmark's highest profiled bass players, performing and recording alongside many leading rock, pop, soul and jazz artists.

​After having been part of the Danish music industry for many years Moussa began to reconnect with his African roots, today he still performs around the world with music drawing obvious lines to his African heritage, with a combination of African and European instruments.

Moussa Diallo has released over 10 solo albums and has also written music and books for children.

Moussa has received several awards:
