Rae Isla
Rae Isla is an independent
American singer-songwriter and musician from Bainbridge Island, WA, now based
in Los Angeles. Drawing from her early years playing classical cello, learning
piano and guitar as a teenager, and attending Berklee College of Music on a
vocal scholarship, Rae weaves together a unique blend of folk, indie rock, and
alt-country influences to create lush, evocative songs. Her 2021 debut album,
Another Life, garnered critical acclaim with features in Rolling Stone and
Billboard, and charted #27 on NACC radio. Her newly released sophomore album,
New Frontier-featuring fan favorites like "Miles and Miles" and "Free to
Love"-marks an evolution in her artistry as a songwriter, producer,
multi-instrumentalist, and visual storyteller.
Rae's voice has also reached
new audiences through film and television. She performed the lead original song
for Ezra, a feature film starring Robert DeNiro and Rose Byrne, and composed
the theme for the upcoming docuseries SCENE: SILVER LAKE. Known as a "traveling
bard," Rae's live performances are both intimate and immersive, sharing
fantastical stories from the road and creating a communal experience that
breaks down the barrier between artist and audience. A burgeoning American
songwriter in her own right, Rae's ability to blend honest and intimate
storytelling with cinematic arrangement will draw you in, and keep you there.
