From a young age, ISIS discovered her love for melodies and harmonies. What started with guitar lessons at music school quickly grew into a deep passion for singing. A singer through and through, music and art are her way of telling stories and conveying emotions. Originally from the small village of Poederlee, she moved to the big city to pursue her dreams.

Some of those dreams are already coming true. She recently released her second single, ALIBI, in collaboration with Dario Tremendo. This track also marked the debut of the duo I&I, a project with her inspiring and talented friend Iglow. Through her music, ISIS hopes to touch and inspire people, and to show that creativity and passion can bring worlds together.
