The Fascinating Journey of Zaho de Sagazan: The Artist Conquers the USA in 2025
With her deep voice and unique style, Zaho de Sagazan has already built a loyal fan base in Europe. Now, the exceptional French artist is venturing across the Atlantic, embarking on her first U.S. tour this month — a pivotal step in her career.
Zaho de Sagazan, the daughter of an artist family from Brittany, blends electronic beats with chanson elements in her music, infusing each of her songs with an emotional depth that resonates profoundly. Her debut album, “La Symphonie des Éclairs,” was lauded by critics as a masterpiece, drawing comparisons to artists such as Christine and the Queens or even Edith Piaf — a mix of modernity and timeless elegance.
The Start of Her U.S. Conquest
The tour kicks off in New York City, a city that has served as a springboard for many international artists entering the U.S. market. The Music Hall of Williamsburg, an intimate venue, provides the perfect backdrop for Zaho’s evocative performance. From there, the tour moves on to San Francisco before concluding in Los Angeles. Each stop has been carefully selected to represent both the East and West Coasts, as well as the musical heart of America.
For Zaho, this tour is not just an opportunity to introduce her music to a new audience but also a challenge: “Performing in the U.S. is a dream, but also a great responsibility. I want people here to experience my music the way I feel it — as a journey through emotions and stories,” she recently explained in an interview.
Why Zaho Will Captivate the U.S.
What sets Zaho de Sagazan apart from others is her authenticity. She remains true to her French roots, singing primarily in French and taking listeners on a journey unrestricted by language barriers. Her stage presence is mesmerizing: minimalist yet powerful choreography complements a voice that oscillates between fragile and commanding.
Music critics in Europe praise her not only for her artistic vision but also for her unwavering dedication to her craft. Her U.S. tour could be exactly what the music scene needs: a reminder that music is universal and emotions transcend all cultural boundaries.
A Year of Highlights: Cannes and Major Festivals
Zaho de Sagazan made headlines in 2024 not just for her music but also for her notable performances at key cultural events. Her appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival was celebrated as one of the festival’s highlights. In a moving performance, she merged film and music by singing live to scenes from an award-winning short film. Particularly striking was her rendition of David Bowie’s “Modern Love,” which she delivered in a minimalist yet deeply poignant version. This homage to one of the greatest artists of the 20th century captivated not only the audience present but also garnered international acclaim.
Beyond Cannes, Zaho graced the stages of renowned music festivals such as Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Les Vieilles Charrues in Brittany, showcasing her ability to connect with diverse audiences. Each performance reinforced her reputation as a rising star with an extraordinary stage presence and emotional resonance.
