Madame Geffroy what is it like to sing in the 4810 meters of altitude?
Miserable acoustics with great views.
in 2012 you are risen with musicians, mountain guides and a film crew on the Mont Blanc. At the top, you have sung her Hit “Je veux”. Yet, the most difficult performance?
The mad was totally a great adventure. For three days we have used, and I was already exhausted after the first half. It was crazy to see how the body itself trumps. Somewhere you get this energy to continue.
you had the breath to Sing, when they arrived?
As I was above, I asked myself this question. When you rise you see the peak and think: we’re almost there. But you never come, never! If you’re at the top, are you freaking out completely. We are fallen in the arms of my guitarist has called his mother. We have unpacked the instruments …
… a mountain leader dragged the double bass …
Then we started, the Guides have agreed to. What I had not thought: It has to be removed again! Airs and graces you may have up there. On the way there are no toilets, we have just made in the snow and in the shelters slept in the tightest of spaces.
Prior to her breakthrough in 2010, you were a street musician. The Album “Zaz” has sold out in France around a Million Times. You have quickly became accustomed to luxury?
With superficialities, I can start today. In “Je veux” I sing “What would I do with a Suite at the Ritz?” and was criticized, it was mendacious, in order to perform on TV. But I mean it seriously: With 20 I forced myself to live in a run-down Shack. One year I didn’t put the make-up, because I realized that I do it often just to please others. I wanted to be regardless of how others see me.
Zaz
Zaz, 38, is actually Isabelle Geffroy, and the album “Zaz,” which appeared in front, almost nine years since their debut, one of the most successful singers in France. In Germany, too, the record sold well, reaching platinum status and was 45 weeks in the Charts. Before she was known, played Zaz in the streets of Montmartre, and sang in the Ensemble of cabaret “Aux Trois Mailletz”, in the Chanson and jazz greats such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and Léo Ferré occurred.
their music contains many elements of Neo-Chanson, Jazz, Swing and Soul, to Rock and Pop. On the new Album “Effet Mirroir” sound a little Dubstep, Salsa, and Reggae; it also sings in Spanish.
Soon, Zaz in Germany: on 13. February in Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart and Munich, in the summer concerts in Cologne and Dresden.
The Interview will take place in the ZDF capital city Studio Under the Linden, where she later in front of the cameras. Zaz’ Manager is. “Look, I’m not stupid,” she says with a laugh.
they were eight months behind in the rent, lost their apartment.
I wanted to live from my music, and me alone boxes. I was lucky. As I had to get out of my apartment and between my mother and me just radio silence, I haven’t met a guy I knew at all, the let me in the apartment of a friend living. Something like this happens to me all the time.
you Can retrieve the feeling of the lack of today?
It was not that I had nothing. And at that time I knew already what I wanted, why I needed a lot of money? Today, I got it, my house is still in a chaotic state, there is not even a Sofa. This is not important to me.
What do you spend your money?
I travel a lot and a load of friends with less money so the come can. To have, of course, money is super, I can pay people to cooperate with me, the cost of everything. If you can’t pay your rent, that is the hell. There were moments in which I knew not how I should buy me something to eat. I’m glad that today is different. But money does not necessarily.
About Cuba, where you have to record a Video of your new Album, you say that the defect make the people creative. You know, that’s cynical.
There is a lot of what is for us in Europe to be completely normal is missing. The Cubans have every reason to be depressed. But the people are open, you look into each other’s eyes. We, however, talk to us here, sometimes questions are not important at all. Too much convenience can prevent you from new experiences. And that helps the creativity.
you have given concerts on five continents since 2010, an average of 50 per year. Also private you are constantly traveling.
