Isabelle Foster is a young Canadian-Italian singer-songwriter who explores the rollercoaster of emotions that come with growing up as a teenager today through her music. 

Inspired by artists like Lizzy McAlpine and Olivia Rodrigo and shaped by years spent living in Thailand, Malaysia, Fiji, and Canada, she brings a global perspective and unique cultural sensitivity to her songwriting. Her artistic journey began in Fiji, where music is deeply woven into daily life; at just 11, she performed as a guest artist before a large audience at the Benefit for Tonga Music Festival. This early exposure to live performance sparked a commitment to developing her craft as both a songwriter and performer. 

More recently,  Isabelle has performed at events including the Halifax Urban Folk Festival and Canada’s Teen Jam, and has been featured in a live interview and performance on CKDU-FM. She also performed the Canadian national anthem to a crowd of 8,000 at the 2026 Men’s Hockey U Cup Gold Medal Game at the Halifax Scotiabank Centre. 

Whether it’s discovering self-worth, healing after heartbreak, or being in love, her music is honest and relatable to listeners of all ages. Her fresh, authentic voice and lyrics position Isabelle as a promising emerging artist and secured her a spot in the 2026 Winnipeg Folk Festival Young Performers Program.

Isabelle released her debut EP Cooler on the Coast on May 29, 2026.
