Isabella Lauretano is a 19-year-old aspiring singer who has finished recording her first demo compilation. Singing is her main passion and she works on perfecting her writing skills when inspired to write about her life experiences or about the environment around her. Her dream is to become a professional recording country artist. Her main influences are Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Martina McBride Caroline Dawn Johnson, Sara Evans, and most influential Reba McEntire.


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.
