Zaoui

Raphaël Faget-Zaoui is a songwriter, composer, performer and musician.

After the phenomenal success of Thérapie Taxi (+400,000 albums sold, 800M streams, +350,000 spectators), Raphael launches himself as a solo artist under the name Zaoui and is now the sole captain of ultra-effective pop, both as insolent as intimate.

Zaoui is as close to his fans as possible and is committed to « writing the soundtrack of their lives  ». It seems that Zaoui's true talent, in addition to composing more than effective tracks, is that of finely analyzing our norms and habits to present them in a new light.

After a first EP Mauvais Démons (2022), Zaoui unveils in October 2023 his first album Pulsations, supported by 6 radio singles including « Laisse aller ton corps  » and « Stigmate  ». An instinctive and sensitive album that affirms his artistic identity.

The accompanying tour confirms his stage ease and his direct connection with the public, leading to a final concert at the Olympia. In 2024, Zaoui signs a fruitful collaboration with Vernis Rouge on his track « Comme des loups  » (+8M streams).

In 2025, Zaoui opens a new chapter and signs a red-hot return with « Toxic et Chic  » then « Xanax mon amour  ».

Two complementary tracks, between emotional lucidity, self-derision and immediate pop melodies, which summon the DNA of Thérapie Taxi, but rooted in Zaoui's unique identity.

Zaoui continues in 2026 the roll-out of his next album (expected for September 2026) with the release in early April of the single « Love Noir  » in collaboration with Stéphane.

Zaoui also returns to meet his audiences with several live dates, including a first Paris date on May 20, 2026 at Cabaret Sauvage.
