A multi-talented musician, Isaiah has been captivating audiences with his performances on guitar and piano, all while leaving an indelible mark with his voice. His meticulously crafted songs have been called “stunning” by American Songwriter magazine, reached #1 on Canadian campus stations, been selected track of the week by The Globe and Mail, and featured in rotation on CBC Radio 3.
Of his live show, prominent Canadian journalist Alan Cross said: “Within thirty seconds of him coming onstage I was transfixed… Extremely evocative, atmospheric and even slightly ominous. The songs were great.” Isaiah’s performance at the Leonard Cohen tribute at Le Rialto was singled out by La Presse as “breathtaking.” Other show highlights include festival appearances at Osheaga, SXSW and Pop Montreal; opening spots for Stephen Malkmus, Van Dyke Parks, Patrick Watson and Basia Bulat. And tours of Quebec, Ontario, New York and Italy.
Isaiah’s true gift, however, lies in his songwriting, which has reached new heights on his upcoming album, To Live a Wild Life. The songs create a compelling conversation, grappling with grief, but ultimately affirming life in all its twists and turns.
