Not frankly like the tongue in her pocket, Zaz tells herself without detour while she releases a new album. And there is no question for her to ignore her old demons and her addictions.
While she will reveal her new album, Safeon September 19, Isabelle Geffroy, better known under the pseudo Zaz, agreed to confide in Paris Match. And at 45, the coach of The Voice has nothing more to hide.
Zaz a “Enthusiasting” with drugs
The one who has just offered a duo with Raphaël, on A gateway to the seahas made great confessions on his past. Asked about her adolescence on edge, Zaz told without eyeshadows: “I was volcanic, I left me, I found myself in a home. I had no limits, I was unmanageable, I was not afraid of anything and I fell into drugs quite young, because I did not know how to manage my emotions. And the substances were crutches.”
Because if she found a refuge in music from the age of eleven, the artist needed to test all her limits. “As I am a very whole person, I did not do things by halves: cocaine, heroine, I tried everything. And alcohol too, obviously … I was all the time angry, I did not understand why. So I took refuge in artificial paradise to amaze me”detailed the interpreter of the tube I want.
Zaz and alcohol: “Whenever I stopped, I resumed worse”
But at 20, it’s the drama for Zaz: she loses her companion. And other demons have entered his life: “There, I chose another path, I seriously got into music, I entered training at the International Center for Movement Arts, near Bordeaux. But I continued to drink, smoking. It is an environment where it is very easy to picking, we have social and festive alcohol. And I smoked three clop packages per day (…)u become addict. I think I wanted to eat life, so I said yes to everything. “
If she thought of stopping alcohol and cigarettes several times, the singer who became a mother-in-law by marrying her new discreet companion managed to get rid of her addictions just a few years ago. “I stopped a lot (…) Every time I stopped, I resumed worse. It is only by imposing a fast during the containment that I really succeeded. I had decided that it was finished. And when I decide something, in general, I go to the end”finally concluded the one that sold no less than five million albums worldwide.
