Zaz - the artist who breathed new life into the chanson - is often mentioned in the same breath as Ella Fitzgerald and Edith Piaf. Few manage to withstand such comparisons, but the French singer proves that she is more than worthy with her unique voice and presence.

Isabelle Geffroy - better known as Zaz - was born in Tours in 1980 and developed a talent for music from an early age. During her childhood, she learned several instruments before studying at the prestigious CIAM music school in Bordeaux. There she gained experience in various genres, singing in a Latin rock band, a Basque dance orchestra and a blues band, among others.
However, her musical breakthrough came in Paris, where she rediscovered her love of the chanson - the favorite songs of her childhood - in the famous artists' district of Montmartre.
During this time, Zaz often played street music and met her first producer, Kerredine Soltani, with whom she later composed her biggest hit, "Je Veux." With this, she surprisingly won a national talent competition in 2009 and released her debut album "Zaz" shortly afterwards.
The album was a sensational success: more than 20 weeks at number one in the French charts, double platinum in Germany, countless TV and festival appearances across Europe.
With her second studio album "Recto Verso" in 2013, Zaz devoted herself more to pop, collaborating with legends such as Quincy Jones and John Clayton.
Just one year later, her cover album "Paris" was released, on which she reinterpreted well-known songs about the city of love.
After a break of almost four years, she released "Effet Miroir" in 2018, on which she sang in Spanish for the first time. Another two years later, "Isa" followed, which showed her more personal and vulnerable than ever before and again linked more to her chanson roots.
While she is already working on her sixth studio album, Zaz will go on an intimate European tour in winter 2024 - also to try out some of these new songs live.
At previous concerts, audiences were already able to be enchanted by Zaz's very special magic and powerful voice - these concerts in
selected locations now promise a very special experience.
If you want to experience the most successful French artist of the last 50 years in Germany up close, you should quickly secure tickets for her exclusive concert in Berlin!
