Hello world, I’m Isabelle.
I’m a small town girl with big dreams. Music has been the only thing giving me purpose in this thing called life. I’ve spent years of my life not having a single clue what I was doing, who I was, or what I wanted- singing was the only thing that made sense through it all. I started singing as a little girl in Montana, performing as the person I always dreamed of being, and then writing songs as a way to give flight to the things I had to say. Being on stage has been the only time in my life where the rest of the world goes black, nothing else matters, I am completely present and like the force of universe is flowing through me.
And through the last twenty something years, music has been the one thing to pacify all of the good, bad, beautiful, and ugly parts of life. I have tried to convince myself with the rest of the world that what I had to say didn’t matter, that my light wasn’t worth shining. I found refuge with some of the greats of our time- Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Miss Lauryn Hill- feeling their soul through their voices that created a butterfly effect in me. I realized that by singing about the things in life that really made me feel, made me think, made me act, I was also showing others a way- a new way. By being my own version of “divine”, I could ignite and awaken that same light in others. I realized life was only about truly being myself and going after what makes my heart set on fire. This is how Iz Divine was born.
This is the beginning of a journey that I hope you will follow. And to put it into simple terms, “Yes, you are exactly who the hell you think you are. Everything that you have ever desired exists within you. You are divine.”
