Born in Paris on August 28, 1995, Raphaël Faget-Zaoui began his musical career in 2013 when he joined the group Therapie Taxi after answering an advert from Adélaïde Chabannes, the group's singer. From then on, they shared the microphone and imposed their electro-tinged French pop formula with hit singles such as "Hit sale" (2017) and "Été 90" (2021). The band called it a day in 2021 after releasing a final EP, Rupture 2 Merde. Following in the footsteps of his partner, who went solo under the name Adé, Raphaël Faget-Zaoui debuted under the name Zaoui. The latter continued in a pop vein, unveiling in 2022 the EP Mauvais Démons, featuring his single "Mauvais". The next step came in 2023 with the release of a full-length album, Pulsations, featuring the tracks "Toute la France", "Lanque de p***", "Destin " and "Sans se dire adieu ", which he recorded as a duet with former The Voice contestant Liv Del Estal. The following year, the album was enriched with new tracks on a reissue entitled Pulsations Tendres et Violentes, including "Avant la fin de l'été" and "Dans mon coeur, tu reviens".
