Zazie (born Isabelle Marie Anne de Truchis de Varennes, 18 April 1964) is a French singer, songwriter, and former fashion model. Zazie co-produces all her albums. She is noted for her playful use of language.
Isabelle de Truchis de Varennes was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. She was nicknamed "Zazie" in reference to the title character of the Raymond Queneau novel, Zazie dans le métro. Her mother was a music teacher and her father, Hervé de Truchis de Varennes, was an architect. At home, they listened to Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel and Barbara, as well as classical music. Inspired, Zazie began learning to play the violin at the age of ten, later teaching herself to play the piano and guitar. After high school, Zazie began studies to become a physiotherapist; however, her classic beauty and nearly six foot stature caught the attention of modelling agents, and she abandoned her schooling to become a fashion model.

Pour espérer
Ma photo dans les magazines
Faut voir
Est-ce que ma jupe est assez short
Pour espérer
Que le show-biz m'ouvrira ses portes
Faut voir
Faut voir des poules toutes leurs dents
Pour réussir
Comme ça le petit oiseau va s'en sortir
Faut voir, c'est fou ce qu'on obtient
Contre un sourire
Ce qu'on vous aime quand on n'a rien à dire
Cheese, je veux bien (bis)
Mais si mon jean devient sale
Puis-je espérer
Qu'on parle de moi dans le journal
Faut voir
Si je tombe et que je casse les dents
Adieu sourire
Comment le petit oiseau va s'en sortir
Cheese, j'en sais rien (bis)
Est-ce que le cadre devient le centre
De notre monde
Plutôt que ce qu’on a dans le ventre
Faut voir
De ce journal aux pages légères
D'autres vont faire
Un lit de fortune en plein coeur
De l'hiver
Cheese, je sais bien (bis)
Que l'image est plus forte
Et prend toute la page
Le plumage rapporte
Plus que notre courage
Qu'on me ferme les portes
Je préfère tenir ce langage
Que de tenir pour me clouer le bec
Un fromage
Tant pis
Cheese, Cheese
Le p'tit oiseau s'envole
L'étiquette se décolle
Et quand le chat te mangera
Souris...
