Having been classically trained in a range of musical disciplines as a child – choral singing, violin, piano, and guitar in particular – it always looked as if Zaz was set for a bright musical future, and so it would eventually prove when she won a scholarship to a modern music school in Bordeaux, which she used as the platform from which to launch her career. Influenced, in her early years, by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Enrico Macias, and Bobby McFerrin – a diverse bunch, then – she began to sing in jazz groups across both her native France and their nearby Basque Country, which is what, in retrospect, came to inform her sound. Her music is a blend of pop, jazz, and soul, but there’s something unmistakably French about it too, even if many of the artists from which she’s known to have taken her cues are from the English-speaking world.

Her self-titled debut record, released in 2010, was a massive hit across Europe, going to the top of the charts in a slew of countries and achieving multi-platinum sales certifications in Belgium, Germany, Poland, and Switzerland, as well as platinum discs in Austria and Russia. In her homeland, meanwhile, the record achieved the rare feat of going Diamond – more than 500,000 copies shifted.
