Life

edit

Isabel Ryan MacArthur[1] was born on 7 November 2002,[3] and grew up in New York City.[4] In an interview with F-Word Magazine,[5] she notes that she's a Scorpio, and identifies with a lot of the traits from the sign.[6] She studied at boarding school Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA.[7]

Career

edit

Izzy in an interview with Melody of Music[8] said she didn't start out by writing music first. Her parents always told her she was a great creative writer, but the only instrument she played was the flute. Her musical experience was limited to doing covers through a music school and musical theatre.[9] In an interview with The C Word,[10] Izzy said

"My parents enrolled me in this creative writing workshop for a few hours every Saturday morning when I was like 11 years old because they thought I was a good writer. They both used to be journalists and hammered into my siblings and me that being a good writer, and able to articulate our thoughts or an argument is one of the most important skills we could have. I was terrible at finishing any short story I wrote in those workshops, but I think it was when I first realised how much I loved creative writing."[11]

On May 3, 2024, Izzy announced her debut single "Misery Missing Company" would be released May 17, 2024.[12] She said in an Instagram post: "i wrote it about my (initial) dislike for LA, and all the emotions from a really chaotic portion of my life summed up into one event."[12] Following that, she released three singles "Sleepwalking" June 21, 2024, "Exit Wounds" August 9, 2024, and "Landmines" October 5, 2024 before announcing her debut EP Blame It on a Bad Dream would be released on November 8, 2024.[4][13][14]

Musical Influences
