Zaoui

Raphaël Faget-Zaoui is a songwriter, composer, performer and musician. Following the phenomenal success of Thérapie Taxi (more than 400,000 albums sold, 800M streams, over 350,000 spectators), Raphael launched a solo career under the name Zaoui and is now the sole master on board of a highly effective pop sound, as insolent as it is intimate. Zaoui stays close to his fans and is keen to "write the soundtrack of their lives". Indeed, Zaoui's true talent seems to lie not only in composing highly effective tracks, but also in analysing our norms and habits with precision and presenting them in a new light.

After a first EP, Mauvais Démons (2022), Zaoui unveiled his debut album, Pulsations, in October 2023, carried by six radio singles including "Laisse aller ton corps" and "Stigmate". An instinctive and sensitive record that asserts his artistic identity. The tour that accompanied it confirmed his ease on stage and his direct connection with the audience, culminating in a final concert at L'Olympia.

In 2024, Zaoui signed a successful collaboration with Vernis Rouge on his track "Comme des loups" (more than 8M streams). In 2025, Zaoui opened a new chapter with a blazing comeback, "Toxic et Chic" followed by "Xanax mon amour". Two complementary tracks, between emotional lucidity, self-mockery and immediate pop melodies, which draw on the DNA of Thérapie Taxi while anchoring themselves in Zaoui's unique identity.

In 2026, Zaoui continues the rollout of his next album (expected in September 2026) with the early April release of the single "Love Noir", featuring Stéphane. Zaoui is also going back to meet his audience with several live dates, including a first Parisian date on 20 May 2026 at the Cabaret Sauvage.
