Zaoui

Zaoui, the stage name of Raphaël Faget-Zaoui, pursues a solo French pop that speaks plainly, sitting between dance pulses, electro touches and choruses that resonate with everyday life. First noticed with Thérapie Taxi, he has since asserted himself through direct songwriting and a rhythmic speak-singing, attentive to intimate details and the codes of the moment. After the EP Mauvais Démons in 2022, he released his debut album Pulsations in 2023, led by “Laisse aller ton corps” and “Stigmate,” and went on to play stages up to the Olympia. He then multiplied releases: a collaboration with Vernis Rouge on “Comme des loups,” followed in 2025 by “Toxic” and “Chic et Xanax mon amour,” two tracks where clarity, self-mockery and pop melodies answer one another. In 2026, “Love Noir” with Stéphane paved the way for the next album.

On 4 February 2027 at the Olympia in Paris, Zaoui returns with a live show focused on the moment, designed for intimacy and communal singing. Expect a mix of standout tracks from Pulsations and new material, driven by a direct stage energy inherited from his years in bands but rooted in his current identity. Unvarnished lyrics, rhythms that invite movement and a constant connection with the crowd: a moment to gauge where Zaoui stands now, and where his pop can still take us.
