Isabelle Foster is a Canadian-Italian singer-songwriter based in Halifax, NS, whose songwriting is shaped by years spent in Thailand, Malaysia, and Fiji. She draws her inspiration from artists like Lizzy McAlpine and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as classic performers such as Joni Mitchell and Sheryl Crow. Isabelle’s journey began in Fiji, where at 11 she performed as a guest artist at the Benefit for Tonga Music Festival, setting her on the path to songwriting and performing.
Isabelle was the youngest performer in this summer's Winnipeg Folk Festival's, and has been featured in live interviews on CKDU and UMFM. She took part in Halifax Urban Folk Festival's Youth Songwriters' Circle as a performer in 2025, and returns to it this fall as host. She has been selected to showcase at EMERGE FEST in October.
Last May, at just 15, she released her debut EP, Cooler on the Coast, and is now working toward her debut album, expected at the end of 2027.
