Issy has been lighting up Hampshire’s live music scene for the past six years. Originally from a quiet seaside town in Devon, she moved to Winchester to study Musical Theatre at university, only to find her path take an unexpected turn when COVID hit. Armed with a busking amp and a whole lot of determination, she began performing in pub corners to anyone who would listen.
Fast-forward to today, and Issy has become one of the South Coast’s most in-demand singer/guitarists. With two original tracks released and her single “Fiddlesticks” topping the South Coast Music Charts for three consecutive weeks in 2024, she’s quickly carving out her place as a standout artist.
Known for her versatile vocals, energetic guitar work, quirky style and infectious personality, Issy brings a unique spark to every performance. Blending smooth pop, rock, soul and jazz influences, she puts her own twist on almost any song and always leaves audiences wanting more. Often compared to artists like Alison Moyet, Adele, KT Tunstall, and even described as a “female Jack Black,” she adapts effortlessly to any occasion, whether it be accompanying someone walking down the aisle, an intimate acoustic set for the drinks reception or a lively evening crowd.
Issy offers a range of different packages to suit your occasion requirements and isn’t scared of an on-the-spot request! She will also make you a personalised set list just for you, creating your music set list of dreams.
