About Rae Isla

Rae Isla is a queer independent American singer-songwriter and musician from Bainbridge Island, WA, now based in Los Angeles. Drawing from her early years playing classical cello, learning piano and guitar as a teenager, and attending Berklee College of Music on a vocal scholarship, Rae weaves together a unique blend of folk, indie rock, and alt-country influences to create lush, evocative songs. Her 2021 debut album, Another Life, garnered critical acclaim with features in Rolling Stone and Billboard, and charted #27 on NACC radio. Her newly released sophomore album, New Frontier—featuring fan favorites like “Miles and Miles” and “Free to Love”—marks an evolution in her artistry as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual storyteller.

Known as a “traveling bard,” Rae​ breaks down the barrier between artist​ and audience, from sending 700 handwritten postcards to promote her Pacific Northwest Tour, to creating a Music NFT collection of her real life rocks, Rae Isla's music is a communal experience.

Rae’s voice has also reached new audiences through film and television. She performed the lead original song for Ezra, a feature film starring Robert DeNiro and Rose Byrne, and composed the theme for the upcoming Reggie-Watts narrated docuseries SCENE: SILVER LAKE.

A burgeoning American songwriter in her own right, Rae Isla’s ability to blend honest and intimate storytelling with cinematic arrangement will draw you in, and keep you there.
