Isabel Maria

Isabel Maria is an alternative-pop songwriter whose work combines biting wit with candid writing about mental health, relationships, identity and growing up. She began writing songs privately on her grandad’s Casio and later built an audience through releases and live performances around the UK. Her sophomore EP Because I Care was developed in Newcastle with Josh Ingledew while Isabel balanced live shows, writing camps and work towards a music degree. The five-track project moves through self-acceptance, regret, anxiety, unreliable friendships and reflections on youth. TuneFountain readers also placed Isabel Maria fourth in the site’s reader-voted Artists of 2025 list.
