Born and raised in a suburb of Seattle, WA, Isaac's first step in his songwriting journey was the indie folk scene. After stumbling across Bon Iver’s <a href="spotify:album:7EJ0OT5ZqybXxcYRa6mccM" data-name="For Emma, Forever Ago">For Emma, Forever Ago</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5schNIzWdI9gJ1QRK8SBnc" data-name="Ben Howard">Ben Howard</a>’s <a href="spotify:album:4WI3oFEsDiHU3I5xHz88sF" data-name="I Forget Where We Were">I Forget Where We Were</a> in highschool, he fell completely in love with the emotional gravity indie folk/rock seemed to have. Unable to escape that pull, he began chasing deep and introspective lyrics paired with dreamy acoustic riffs.
Isaac’s musical journey got a lot more serious when he first discovered <a href="spotify:artist:2eam0iDomRHGBypaDQLwWI" data-name="Bleachers">Bleachers</a>’ album <a href="spotify:album:10HKbC9lKDHGQvndGck6XJ" data-name="Gone Now">Gone Now</a>. This album seemed to catch him at an extremely vulnerable time in his life. Mourning the death of 4 close family members/friends and dealing with the divorce of his parents all packed into a 2 year window, he felt like life was moving on without him and his depression growing more and more dull. The discovery of Bleachers completely saved Isaac not just in a literal sense, but musically as well. Such honest and deep lyrics paired with tracks that were powerful and lighthearted opened up a new door in the songwriting process for Isaac: opening up about serious topics such as loss, grief and depression with an energetic and positive outlook.
