If you have ever seen Isaak perform you would instantly feel brightened by his warmth and fun personality on stage. Isaak didn’t always feel at home on the stage, though. One of his most memorable performances was actually his first one, and did not involve singing at all. A couple months into guitar lessons, he volunteered to perform a solo piece in front of 400 students. He says “I will never forget the rush of energy and adrenaline I felt for the first time as a performer. That was a huge moment in why I do this.” And “doing this” now includes singing and playing guitar.
His inspiration to get into singing came from his mother, father, and church. At church ceremonies, his parents would play up front and everyone would just “sit in silence and listen.” Their ability to captivate an audience didn’t hit him until he began those guitar lessons, thus, began his musical journey. He states music isn’t only music, it is also “a spiritual thing, not religious, but music allows me to question the extent of human existence. I am driven by how music not only lets people forget about their problems, but how it can also provide answers.”
As Isaak continues his growth as an artist, he finds he can take on a different personae while playing guitar or singing a song. He says “music allows me to burst out of my shell.” He describes himself as an a“old soul who loves the sound of 50s, 60s, and 80s rock and blues.” Luckily, his voice naturally gravitates toward this style. He credits his confidence as a performer to Patrice Peris Voice Studios.
Before taking lessons with Whitney, he says he was suppressed by all the outside voices saying pursuing a passion for music just did not make sense. Being at the studio has helped quiet those voices, at least a little. He states “Whitney and Patrice have been great mentors in driving me in the right direction as to how to improve. Whitney specifically every lesson breaks through my ego and allows me to be myself. The BIGGEST thing about the studio is that it teaches you confidence when you sing and perform.”
His current plans involve performing in front of an audience, big or small, as much as he can so he can develop his “skills of being the best rock/blues artist of [his] generation,” he recently became involved with the band “Dancing With Delilah” as the lead vocalist, and his life goal is to max-out a stadium with 60,000 people. Why that number you may ask, well, “a man can’t jump if he doesn’t know how high.” Keep your eye out for Isaak this summer outside Faneuil Hall in Boston, MA, as he was accepted to be a street performer there!
