Zaoui

Zaoui is the solo stage name of Raphaël Faget, one of the writers and voices of Thérapie Taxi. After the band’s epic journey, he breaks away with an unfiltered pop — direct and catchy — that flirts as much with insolence as with intimacy. Blunt writing, hooks that stick, frontal energy: he crafts songs built for live performance, between luminous melodies, electronic tensions and guitars that scrape just where they should. You find the same blend of humor, fragility and gentle provocation that became his trademark, but refocused through a very personal lens.

See him on May 20, 2026 at the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris, where he will defend this chapter as a solo artist. On stage, Zaoui moves forward like a scout, tightened to the essentials: lyrics that speak plainly about everyday life and pop bangers that make you want to move. No nostalgia, just a consciously assumed trajectory, carried by a stage presence that favors instinct and sharp productions. A return to freedom, in which he steers the ship and imposes his way, between forthright confessions and melodic uppercuts.
