Who is zaz

In May , French magazine Telerama announced: "Rumor has swelled in recent weeks: Zaz is a sacred voice, and she will be the revelation of the summer! On 10 May , Zaz released her first album. Kerredine Soltani produced the album under Play On label, and wrote and composed the hit single "Je veux".

She was invited to many TV shows such as Taratata or Chabada and was featured in several programs on the radio. Matthieu Baligand, her manager and producer at Caramba Entertainment, explained to Liberation: "We talk a lot of her right now and people are waiting her at the turn… Despite the demand, it seems preferable to do her first tour in fifty small places which will render her credible.

Zaz is a popular, intuitive artist, who is familiar with music, who can sing, but doing a quality show is something else …. Zaz is not a materialistic girl and she wants the world to know!

There she is, singing in the streets, with a couple of musicians. Does she remind you of someone? Zaz has often been compared to the great Edith Piaf , who started as a street performer. She is full of life, passionate, [admittedly] loud; loves the stage, and in spite of appearances she makes it all look so easy, is a hard worker.

Here is another favorite song: Les Passants the Passers-by. This is a live version, just Zaz and two musician friends, performing in Paris near Montmartre.

Often, comments are written by fans based in Greece or in Eastern Europe, Russia for example. That is because she toured extensively in those countries before she made it to the big leagues. She also performed primarily in small venues in Egypt and Japan. Now that she is famous, she continues to tour in France and around Europe.

It is featured on her website. She is courted by renowned TV shows, where she appears on occasion, a bit shy, but true to her style, and often performs with more established French artists.

I saw her recently in an interview with renowned French composer and singer Pierre Perret. She did more than hold her own! And here she is. I listen to Zaz a lot. She is French, but also a citizen of the world, because her music incorporates so many styles and cultures. No wonder she has such a widespread appeal. Respectful of the past and her idols, Zaz also looks forward and creates a brand new sound.
