Izabel
Bulgarian-born artist, singer, and Instagram baddie Izabel (aka @izabalien) has been living in London since 2019, where she graduated from the BIMM Institute. Her debut EP, alien bae, mixes a general feel of R&B with a sense of an entangled, more sensual sound, representing her growth as an artist.
She released her sophomore EP SCENARIOS in 2024, followed by a live session recorded & filmed at a historic building in her hometown. 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 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. Her 2025 single “Tattoo” got supported by Timbaland on his Timbo iDo & Instagram.
