Karen Cheryl

Karen Cheryl is the stage name that made **Isabelle Morizet** a familiar face and voice in French pop culture from the mid‑1970s onward. Born on 19 July 1955 in Saint‑Germain‑en‑Laye, France, she first broke through as a singer, initially recording under the name **Carene Cheryl** before settling on Karen Cheryl as her main pseudonym. Her debut single came out in 1975, and she went on to enjoy a successful run through the 1970s and 1980s, selling around five million records in France and becoming one of the country’s notable pop and disco voices of that era.

Beyond music, Karen Cheryl smoothly transitioned into television and radio, turning Isabelle Morizet into a well‑known media personality. She began hosting major TV variety shows such as **Numéro Un** in 1980 while still performing as a singer, and later developed a substantial career as a radio presenter under her real name, interviewing a wide range of guests on Europe 1 in the 2000s. Between her hit records, TV appearances, and radio work, she’s had one of those careers where, if you grew up with French pop culture over the last few decades, her name (or rather, names) is almost impossible to miss.
