About Zaz
Zaz is a French singer from Tours who revived the spirit of acoustic chanson for a global audience in the 2010s. Her 2010 breakthrough 'Je Veux' combined a raspy, Piaf-evoking voice with gypsy jazz arrangements and an infectious joie de vivre. The song became a viral hit and her debut album sold millions across Europe and Latin America. Zaz proved that traditional French song could find a massive new audience without abandoning its acoustic roots.
