About
Combining growling synthesizers, pulsing drums, and distorted guitar, ISØBEL delivers brooding alternative pop and synth-rock anthems to fans of similar artists such as St. Vincent, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Metric. This self-taught, multi-instrumentalist solo artist writes, records and produces her music out of her home studio in Ottawa, Canada.
ISØBEL captivates audiences with her energetic and assertive stage presence, slowly upping the ante as she delves into topics of self-doubt and egotism, relationships, and womanhood, leaving her audience wanting more.
In 2021, ISØBEL was selected as a winner of the Ottawa Music Development Fund's Concert Artist Fees Grant, provided by the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition, for which a live performance was recorded and aired on Rogers TV. Her music has been featured on the City of Ottawa’s "Music on Hold" and curated “City Sounds” playlist in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
ISØBEL continues to pick up steam as she gears up to release her new single “Shameless” in 2023.
