ZAZ - Live Tour 2025

There are voices that you recognize immediately. Isabelle Geffroy, better known as Zaz, has one of those. Sometimes rough, sometimes gentle, with an energy that moves effortlessly between chanson, pop and jazz. An artist who went from the streets of Montmartre to the world's big stages - and has always remained herself.

Born on May 1, 1980 in Tours, her musical talent was evident early on: at the age of seven, she came second in a radio competition. She later studied music in Bordeaux and performed with the Latin rock band Don Diego, which led her to a festival appearance in Angoulême. The stage became her home. After an intensive time in the Parisian cabaret Les trois maillets, where she performed for up to five hours a day, her career took off. On the street, in the artists' district of Montmartre, she met the producer Kerredine Soltani - the beginning of a success story. Together they wrote "Je veux", a song that was to shape her debut album "Zaz". Released in 2010, it rose to number one in the charts in France and was also a hit in Germany.

Her musical success did not wane. Two Echo nominations, the European Border Breakers Award and live albums followed. She literally reached new heights when she climbed Mont Blanc with two musicians in 2012 to play "Je veux" unplugged - a symbolic moment that was captured in a film co-produced by ZDF and Arte. Social commitment is also part of Zaz's life: she supports the Colibri movement founded by Pierre Rabhi, which advocates a more sustainable social model.

With albums such as "Recto verso" (2013), "Paris" (2014) - a homage to the city of love - and "Effet miroir" (2018), she has repeatedly proven her versatility. After a three-year break, her album "Isa" was released in 2021. Now a new chapter is about to begin: Zaz will return to the stage in 2025. She will celebrate her big comeback in France and present her new album. The first sounds will be revealed in the coming weeks - a foretaste of the soul of her next tour. Zaz herself says of her music: "I am often told abroad that they don't understand me, but they still receive my message." It is this mixture of voice, energy and emotion that touches her audience around the world. And German fans can look forward to it: As part of her new tour, Zaz will also be performing here in December - with all the passion that has made her a distinctive artist.
