Isabella has been singing since the
age of 6 but started to perform live at
age 8 when her mother and sister
realized her potential and began to
enlist her in local singing
competitions. From age 8 to 17 she has
been involved in the Canadian Open
Country Competition hosted by the
Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and
competed for several years in the
Toronto Rising Star Competition, also
hosted by the CNE. Isabella has also
performed for school choirs and fairs,
church functions, high school spirit
assemblies and musicals.
Isabella has been situated in a
musical upbringing from the minute she
was born. Her family constantly played
music, and went to live concerts. The
majority of music listened to in her
home came from artists such as Reba
McEntire, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks,
Vince Gill, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard,
George Jones, Tanya Tucker, Patsy Cline
and Willie Nelson. Because of this
musically enriched atmosphere Isabella
adapted this special country singing
style at an early age, and has kept it
with her until now.
Isabella understands that in life one
must aspire to a career that one loves
and is most happy in. She also
understands that in a vast and
inconsistent world, to get anywhere
education is extremely important, thus
she has just completed her first year at
York University where she majors in
Criminology. However, she also
understands how much dedication and
devotion goes into harvesting a singing
career, so she is constantly practising,
and working on perfecting her craft,
with the help, guidance, and
determination from her vocal instructor
Diana Yampolsky, at the Royans School
for the Performing Arts.
