Description:

Composing music and singing is one of her big passions in life. She writes her lyrics in Portuguese, English and Chopi/Shangana ( dialects from Mozambique). Her music can be best described as being a balance between light Jazz, Soul, Pop & World music. Her African roots mixed with these different influences bring a special taste to the music. When she sings she moves from one style to the other and she sings with her soul. Her lyrics and sweet/smooth/strong voice brings up to the listeners different emotions and feelings. You can Dance/Sing/Cry/Think/Feel or just listen. Isabel Explains: ? I grew up listening and being inspired by different styles of music, from roots music like the typical traditional African rhythms to the western styles ( Soul, Jazz, Funk ,classic, world?) ,when I create my music my ears easily jump all over those different styles and I find myself combining them. ?The languages easily come to play when I write my lyrics as I like to combine , Portuguese, English and dialects from home. I believe you don?t always have to understand the lyrics to be moved by the song, and I want people also to feel what I do??.
