Zaoui

Raphaël Faget-Zaoui is a singer-songwriter and musician. Following the phenomenal success of Thérapie Taxi (+400.000 albums sold, 800M streams, + de 350.000 spectators), Raphael is launching a solo career as Zaoui, now fully in control of an ultra-catchy pop sound that is as cheeky as it is intimate.

Zaoui is very close to his fans and is committed to « writing the soundtrack to their lives ». Indeed, Zaoui’s real talent, in addition to composing highly effective songs, seems to be his ability to finely analyze our norms and habits and present them in a new light.

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

In 2024, Zaoui began a successful collaboration with Vernis Rouge on the track « Comme des loups » (+ de 8M de streams).

In 2025, Zaoui opened a new chapter and made a blazing return with « Toxic et Chic » and then « Xanax mon amour ». Two complementary tracks, combining emotional clarity, self-deprecation and immediate pop melodies, that evoke Thérapie Taxi’s DNA while remaining rooted in Zaoui’s unique identity.

In 2026, Zaoui continues to roll out his upcoming album (expected in September 2026), with the release in early April of the single « Love Noir » featuring Stéphane. Zaoui is also heading back out to meet his audience with several live dates, including his first Paris date on 20 May 2026 at the Cabaret Sauvage.
