Isla-Maria is an 18-year-old rising singer-songwriter from Toronto (Bracebridge), Canada, whose
music blends emotional honesty with memorable pop melodies. Writing songs since the age of
seven, she has developed a sound that is deeply relatable, raw, and unmistakably her own —
music that speaks directly to young people navigating identity, heartbreak, hope, and growth.
With over 10 original songs released and many more completed and ready for release, Isla-Maria
has already built an impressive catalogue at a young age. She has performed multiple times in
Toronto and Los Angeles, gaining a reputation for engaging live performances that connect
effortlessly with audiences. Currently working with Warner Music Canada (ADA Distribution),
Isla-Maria is collaborating with an exciting roster of notable producers in both Toronto and LA
as she continues to evolve her sound and expand her reach. Passionate about using music as a
way to help others feel seen and understood, she brings authenticity, vulnerability, and energy to
every performance. Isla-Maria is an emerging artist to watch — one whose voice, songwriting,
and presence leave a lasting impression.
