Zaz, whose real name is Isabelle Geoffroy was born on May 1, 1980 in Tours. At age four he declared, "When I grow up I'll be singing" and it seems that this phrase, spoken with such determination has been fulfilled. "The first thing to know is that I have always sung" is one of the phrases now used as a presentation. The five entered the conservatory in his hometown where he studied violin and piano to 11. At 15 he took singing lessons, though not frequently, she admits that at that time was not very disciplined.
After 20 years things start to go fast for her. He studied at the Information Center of Musical Activities in Bordeaux, where it takes itself more seriously. Contacting a first group specializing in blues, and then start touring with a Basque orquestilla composed of sixteen people, four singers, playing every success in the festivals of villages and small towns as Bayona or Carcassonne. People asked songs Whitney Houston or Beyoncé and she obeyed. The work was hard and the pay not very high but he used to take tables and mature. It has also been part of a rap group, has sung with some Chileans in Casablanca, has been on tour to Egypt and has performed in a salt mine in Colombia. It was the winner of the third edition of Génération Réservoir and answered ads have changed my life, the first one of the group Don Diego was looking singer. She went there and became Zaz. With these codes explores African, Arab and Andalusian Brazilians and Latinos in general. The Zaz repertoire have also been subjects of jazz and blues as well as great successes of the chanson française belonging to Jacques Brel , Aznavour, Gainsbourg or Nougaro.
Zaz In 2006 decides to go to Paris and begins to act, with friends, Germain and Mr. T, in small clubs, piano bar and on the streets of Montmartre, encouraging the thousands of tourists who come daily to visit For example, the Sacré Coeur and the Place du Tertre. In the following video you can see Zaz and his friends in action, bearing witness to this that I have.
In 2007 answered another ad, those who have changed their lives. He got a new voice, grave, with touches of jazz and a little broken. Who made the ad is Kerredine Soltani, produced his first album and composed some of his most notable figures such as the aupado single to number one of all the French charts.

The album, which is named like it Zaz , was released in France on May 10, 2010 and then stood in front of the biggest sellers remained so for weeks and weeks and getting gold records, and even platinum. In Spain also has seen the light on 13 July, but for now, has not been that successful host. Many of the songs on the album were composed by Zaz itself but also with the collaboration, apart from his mentor, Kerredine Soltani, singer Raphaël , Raphaël Haroche, who has written three songs: "Éblouie par la nuit "(Dazzled at night)," Port Coton "(Puerto Cotton) and La Fée (The Fairy). And one of the songs contained in this first record of Zaz is a version of a theme Edith Piaf , "Dans ma rue" (In my street), which tells of a prostitute from the hill of Montmartre. Zaz This pays homage to the great Edith Piaf, who also began on the streets, and whose themes Zaz has played many times in small venues and street performances. We offer an acoustic version of this topic at the next video.
Selected for the Prix Constantin 2010 . On Friday 12 November, a jury chaired by Marc Lavoine will announce the winner.
