French Zaz to sing again in Istanbul’s Parkorman

ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News

Zaz has been named as the ‘Most Admired French Singer,’ last year.

French singer Zaz will be coming to Istanbul for the second time on June 15 to perform as part of the “Vodafone Istanbul Calling” events at Parkorman.

Zaz will be singing new songs from her new album.

The young, quirky musician, named “Most Admired French Singer,” has a smoky voice redolent of Edith Piaf. Zaz – or Isabelle Geffroy – was born in 1980 in France. She studied music theory, violin, and choir from the age of 5 and had her first stage performance with the blues band “Fifty Fingers.”

A street musician, Zaz was discovered performing on the streets of Paris. She came first in 2009’s “Generation Reservoir” competition and rose to the top with her 2010 album “ZAZ.” Having gained popularity in Turkey with her song “Je Veux,” her performance is highly anticipated.
