France Alizée Jacotey found early success as a pop singer and dancer, now planning a stage comeback in 2026 to celebrate her career.
Alizée signed with Universal Records and later saw Universal Music rerelease her live album 'En concert' in Mexico in early 2007, which became a hit.
In August 2007, Alizée left Universal Records to sign with RCA (Sony BMG) for her album 'Psychédélices'.
Alizée's dance from "J'en Ai Marre" was the influence for the Night Elf female dance in Blizzard Entertainment's best-selling game World of Warcraft.
Alizée confirmed a new album would be released on the Sony Music label in spring 2012 (later delayed to autumn 2012, then March 2013).
In 1995, aged 11, Alizée won a coloring competition organised by the French airline Air Outre Mer; her design was used to paint one of their airliners, subsequently named after her, and she won a family vacation trip to the Maldives.
Alizée won an M6 award in 2000 for her singles.
Alizée promoted her single 'Mademoiselle Juliette' on NRJ Radio on September 27, 2007.
Advertising and marketing campaigns for Alizée's album 'Psychédélices' began November 22, 2007, with ad campaigns on TF1-TV.
Alizée signed autographs at the Virgin Megastore in Paris on the release day of her album 'Une enfant du siècle'.
The video for 'Mademoiselle Juliette' was made available on MSN France on November 16, 2007.
The music video for her single 'À cause de l'automne' was released first on the VidZone platform for PlayStation 3.
Alizée promoted her album '5' in the January/February 2013 issue of the French edition of 'Inked' magazine, featuring a photoshoot.
Alizée performed during the NRJ Music Awards on December 14, 2013.
In September 2014, Alizée contributed to the single 'Kiss & Love' for the charity event Sidaction.
In December 2014, Alizée announced that she would be dubbing a character in the animation film 'Clochette et la créature légendaire', the French version of 'Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast'.
Alizée Jacotey, born on August 21, 1984, in Ajaccio, Corsica, France, began her career early, developing proficiency in dance from the age of four. In 1999, she gained public attention by winning the ‘Meilleure Graine’ award on the French talent show ‘Graines de Star’. This led to her discovery by renowned songwriters Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, who orchestrated her debut in the music industry. In 2000, Alizée released her first album, ‘Gourmandises’, which quickly achieved Platinum certification in France within three months of its release. The album featured her most successful single, ‘Moi… Lolita’, which topped charts in several European and East Asian countries and became a rare foreign-language song to enter the UK Singles Chart.
Her early career was characterized by her ‘Lolita’ image, often seen wearing very short skirts and performing emotional songs. The dance from her single ‘J’en Ai Marre’ even influenced a character dance in Blizzard Entertainment’s ‘World of Warcraft’. In 2003, she released her second album, ‘Mes courants électriques’, and embarked on the ‘En concert Tour’, performing 43 concerts across France, Belgium, and Switzerland. After a temporary hiatus following the birth of her daughter, Annily, in 2005, Alizée returned with ‘Psychédélices’ in 2007, marking a shift in her artistic direction without the direct supervision of Farmer and Boutonnat. This album, along with a compilation ‘Tout Alizée’, found particular success in Latin America.
Alizée continued to evolve her musical style with subsequent albums such as ‘Une enfant du siècle’ (2010), which introduced a more mature persona, and ‘5’ (2013), praised for its artistic development. A significant milestone in her career came in 2013 when she won the television dance contest ‘Danse avec les stars’. Following her victory, she focused more on dancing, opening a dance academy and participating in several dance tours. In 2014, she released her sixth album, ‘Blonde’, and also contributed to various projects, including dubbing a character for a Disney animation film. After a period focusing on dance, Alizée announced her return to the stage in 2024 to perform her greatest hits in multiple cities, indicating a renewed focus on her music career.
