After two EP's, he released his first album Tales of the Forgotten Melodies in March 2005, mixing hip-hop, downtempo and trip-hop, and a second, Hope & Sorrow in April 2007.
After being a host on a French radio in the Paris suburb of Mantes-La-Jolie, JC Le Saoût started the French Rap band La Formule in the 1990's. He created his label Lab'Oratoire in 1998 and produced records from La Formule as well as Break Beat compilations and a collaboration with the Swedish band Looptroop.
He began work on the Wax Tailor project in 2001, first appearing on a remix of Looptroop & La Formule's "Breathing Under Water". Wax Tailor's first EP Lost The Way was released in 2004 and features contributions from Charlotte Savary, Marina Quaisse, and Big Dada rapper Infinite Livez. Other musicians who have appeared alongside Wax Tailor include North Carolina Hip-Hop duo The Others, Ursula Rucker, Sharon Jones, Voice and A State Of Mind.
His second album Hope & Sorrow was nominated for "Best Electronic Album" at the 2008 Victoires de la Musique, a French music award ceremony.
Wax Tailor uses samples in his music as film directors use actors. His record is conceived as an orchestral movie between hip-hop and downtempo where Wax Tailor hijacks “The forgotten melodies” and tells a story of his own where each track is a sequence. In this large patchwork of numerous influences and multiple references to the seventh art, major names of the twentieth century music (Doris Day, Nina Simone...) could get a chance to meet Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen or Alfred Hitchcock
Damn That Music Made My Day
Wax Tailor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Confused about where I come from
Hip Hop Hip Hop Hip Hop...
Relax your mind, let your conscience be free
Now people always want to know my strategy plan
Psychopath on the phonograph, nut of the cuts
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd
Father of all stylin, I be whylin on wax
And my sound's laid down by the Underground
I'm not a beginner, amateur or local
Check it
It's a new thing-check out this I bring
Here's a backstage pass to a funky show
When I clap my hands and I stomp my feet
Dance wit the speaker 'till you hear it blow
Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
So check it check it check it check it check it one two
Put your record on wax
Boom the beat, the boom beat
Listening Hip Hop

The lyrics to Wax Tailor's song Damn That Music Made My Day are an intriguing combination of commentary on the state of the music industry, declarations of the artist's own prowess, and a call to simply enjoy the power of music. The first few lines suggest that the song's message is universal, reaching both old and young audiences who may be confused about the artist's perspective. The use of "Hip Hop" as a refrain adds to the sense of universality, indicating that this message is not limited to one genre or audience.
The lyrics then take a turn toward the artist's own mission and skillset. He declares that he is not a beginner or amateur, but rather the "father of all stylin" and a force to be reckoned with on wax (referring to vinyl records). He also takes shots at those who would copy and paste others' work, suggesting that he is a purist who values originality and skill.
The final lines of the song return to the power of music, encouraging listeners to let go of their worries and simply dance and enjoy the beats. The use of repetition and call-and-response ("check it one two") adds to the song's energy and sense of urgency.
