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

Sometimes
Wax Tailor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There can be no disgrace
For the true expression of Love
That without it, a man can be coarsened and degraded
In mind, body and soul

Oh I've searched it once
But there is no love anywhere
I cannot find love by searching for it

It comes to us unbiden
Then we give it to others

Yes

Would you play something gay
Yes

The above lyrics are from the song "Sometimes" by Wax Tailor. The lyrics talk about the expression of love and how it can impact a person's life. The first line talks about how there is no shame in expressing true love since it can have a positive impact on a person's mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. The following lines suggest that the singer has been searching for love but hasn't found it. However, the singer acknowledges that love is not something that can be actively sought out but instead comes naturally to a person, and they can then share it with others.

The lyrics are a reflection on the complexities of love and how it can be both elusive yet powerful. The singer's search for love is a relatable experience as many people have experienced the difficulty of finding a meaningful connection. The last line of the lyrics, "Would you play something gay," seems to contrast the melancholic and introspective tone of the song, showing how love can inspire different emotions.

Line by Line Meaning

There can be no disgrace
Love should never be considered shameful

For the true expression of Love
Showing genuine love is important

That without it, a man can be coarsened and degraded
Without love, a person can become harsh and morally corrupted

In mind, body and soul
Love affects us holistically

Oh I've searched it once
I have previously looked for love

But there is no love anywhere
Love cannot be found by seeking it

I cannot find love by searching for it
Love is not found through a conscious effort

It comes to us unbiden
Love happens naturally and unexpectedly

Then we give it to others
We share love with those around us

Yes
