Biography
Iko Chérie (real name: Marie Merlet) was born and raised in Bordeaux, France, where she maintained a close, continuous relationship with music while she was a film student, playing in various bands and DJ'ing weekly on the local radio station Nova Sauvagine. Everything changed the day she met Laetitia Sadier. At the time, Mariewas involved in a thousand projects: a girl-group doing covers from the sixties, a WashingtonDC-styled punk combo, and a few experimental electronic ventures. But when the then-singer of Stereolab asked her to join MONADE and they started recording and touring together, there was no turning back. Marie traded Bordeaux for London, where she continued her musical journey as part of electronic duo Zooey or with the sweet pop of Lisbon. In 2013, Marie began recording songs on her own in her London home studio under the moniker Iko Chérie.
