Zaoui - Le Bikini

Raphaël Faget-Zaoui is a singer-songwriter, composer, and musician. Following the phenomenal success of Thérapie Taxi (+400,000 albums sold, 800M streams, over 350,000 concert-goers), Raphael has embarked on a solo career under the name Zaoui, now acting as the sole captain of an ultra-effective pop that is as insolent as it is intimate.

Zaoui is extremely close to his fans and is deeply committed to "writing the soundtrack to their lives." Indeed, Zaoui's true talent, beyond composing more-than-effective tracks, seems to be his keen ability to analyze our norms and habits and showcase them in a new light.

After a first EP titled Mauvais Démons (2022), Zaoui unveiled his debut album Pulsations in October 2023, driven by 6 radio singles including "Laisse aller ton corps" and "Stigmate." It is an instinctive and sensitive record that asserts his artistic identity. The accompanying tour confirmed his stage presence and direct connection with the public, culminating in a final concert at the Olympia. In 2024, Zaoui collaborated successfully with Vernis Rouge on the track "Comme des loups" (+8M streams).

In 2025, Zaoui opened a new chapter, making an incandescent return with "Toxic et Chic" followed by "Xanax mon amour." These two complementary tracks—blending emotional lucidity, self-deprecating humor, and immediate pop melodies—summon the Thérapie Taxi DNA while remaining firmly anchored in Zaoui's unique identity.

In 2026, Zaoui continues the rollout of his upcoming album (expected in September 2026) with the early April release of the single "Love Noir" featuring Stéphane. Zaoui is also hitting the road to meet his audience again with several live dates, including a first Parisian show on May 20, 2026, at the Cabaret Sauvage.
