Izabel
London-based, Bulgaria-born rising artist, singer, songwriter, and Instagram baddie Izabel (aka izabalien) began her artistic career at a very early age and after winning a nationwide competition to become part of the biggest kids vocal group in her home country. She also had a role in a few charity organizations, including UNICEF.
Her first EP, alien bae (2021), mixes a general feel of R&B with a sense of an entangled, more sensual sound, representing her growth as an artist.
In 2023, she participated in an SBTV songwriting camp with artists like Col3trane, Jaz Karis, Ashton Sellars & more. She was also part of the 2024 She Runs The Board compilation with artists, producers and songwriters like Miraa May, Emmavie, and Gnarly.
Izabel released her debut EP SCENARIOS via Berlin-based Stereofox Records, which garnered over 500 000 streams within a few months of the release. The EP was also supported by the likes of NOTION, EARMILK, and Magnetic Magazine and featured in a few notable Apple Music editorials.
Izabel released a Live Medley in October 2024 (incl. a bonus cover of Summer Walker & Ari Lennox’s “Unloyal” on YouTube), followed by the single “Discipline” which landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds R&B. She also opened for Asher Roth @ Hootananny Brixton, London on Oct 29th.
