Zaoui

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

Following the phenomenal success of Thérapie Taxi (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 cheeky as it is intimate.

Zaoui stays close to his fans and is committed to « writing the soundtrack of their lives  ». The true talent of Zaoui, beyond composing highly effective tracks, indeed seems to be that of finely analysing our norms and habits 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 stage ease and direct connection with the audience, culminating in a final concert at the Olympia. In 2024, Zaoui forged a fruitful collaboration with Vernis Rouge on his track « Comme des loups  » (over 8M streams).

In 2025, Zaoui opened a new chapter with a incandescent comeback, « Toxic et Chic  » followed by « Xanax mon amour  ».

These two complementary tracks, blending emotional lucidity, self-mockery and immediate pop melodies, evoke the DNA of Thérapie Taxi while anchoring themselves in Zaoui's unique identity.

In 2026, Zaoui continues the rollout of his next album (expected September 2026) with the release, early April, 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.
