Born in Kuwait, but raised in Amman, Jordan, Karazon is of Palestinian ancestry. She started her singing career as a child supported by her father who himself was a musician and a member of Jordanian artists association. She sang her first song in public when she was 6 year old which was dedicated to King Hussein. The song was "Ya ayyuha al meleko (Oh your highness the King)".

As a young girl she began to perform in many competitions in and out of Jordan. She won the contest at MBC Radio Station and soon went on to enter "Superstar" the Arab Idol singing competition.
