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
Seize The Day
Wax Tailor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold them close
Petals of a rose
Thorns as well
Friends and foes
Have no fear
Seize the day, the day
Seize the day, that day
Seize the day, the day
Seize the day, that day
I don't mind whatever happens
I don't care whatever happens
*what is going to happen now?*
*I can't see much in the future...*
Let them burn
Things of cotton
Admire the fire
Things undone
There's applause
There'll be encores
You're sincere
That's what we're
Have no fear
*Don't You trust me?...you must trust me*
Seize the day, the day
Seize the day, that day
Seize the day, the day
Seize the day, that day
I don't mind whatever happens
I don't care whatever happens
The opening lines of Wax Tailor's "Seize the Day" set the scene for what is to come. It is a question that many of us ask ourselves when presented with a new situation or opportunity: what is going to happen now? The song seems to suggest that sometimes we just need to let go, and trust that whatever happens, it will be all right.
The first verse is full of contrasts - petals and thorns, friends and foes. It suggests that life is not always straightforward or easy, but that we should not let that stop us from embracing it. The repeated refrain of "Have no fear" is a reassuring one, telling us that we should not be afraid to take chances or try new things.
The second verse continues this theme of letting go, with the image of "things of cotton" being burned. It suggests that we should not hold onto things too tightly, but rather appreciate them in the moment and then let them go. Again, there is the suggestion that there may be obstacles or challenges along the way, but that we should not be deterred by them.
Overall, "Seize the Day" is a song about taking risks, letting go of fear, and embracing life in all its complexity. It is a call to action, reminding us that we should not let uncertainty hold us back.

The whole soundtrack to Paris is magnificent, and this song is sublime. It just seems to get me right in my soul, it gives me goosebumps, the music and lyrics combined, with that voice. Fantastic!
