"As the youngest female artist ever to perform at Rock Werchter, ISE knows perfectly well that you don't need frills to create beauty," wrote De Standaard some time ago. It sums up nicely the power that emanates from the 19-year-old singer-songwriter. With her unique, raw voice and stripped-down songs, ISE is rapidly becoming the new star of the Belgian music scene. 

Over the past two years, ISE has captured the hearts of many music lovers with impressive live concerts. All she needs is her voice and her guitar or piano. She has performed at Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Sziget (HU), Best Kept Secret (NL), Traumzeit (D) and even Expo 2025 Osaka (Japan). Her captivating performances have also led to sold-out club shows in Belgium (AB Club twice in one day!) and the Netherlands, and support slots for big names such as Hozier, Fantastic Negrito and Gavin DeGraw.

2026 heralds a new chapter: all focus is on her debut album Suitcase Child, which will be released on 9 January 2026. The title refers to her childhood, when she commuted between two homes every week with a suitcase after her parents' divorce. Those emotions resonate in her songs, now amplified by a full band. "I hope others can relate to my story and draw strength from it," says ISE about her debut album.
