21 years old, Nigerian-born, Canadian-raised and a newcomer on the

hip hop scene. you'd be perfectly justified in calling her new blood.

But if you're going to judge her based on the length of time she's been

emceeing, scrap that thought. Isis is about to take the game to a whole

new level. It's a skillful emcee who can draw their listeners into their

experiences, but it's a rare one who can bring the crowd's imagination

to life. This is Isis's gift, displayed every time she picks up the mic.

Using her background as material for her lyrics, she elevates the art of

rhyme to new heights and, in turn, is flipping the Canadian hip-hop

scene on its head. Isis' focused energy, sheer skill and undeniable

talent has turned her into one of the most sought-after performers in

Toronto.



In less than a year since she decided to take this "rap thing"

seriously, Isis has managed to destroy microphones on stages shared with

underground hip hop legends like Bahamadia, Vast Aire (Def Jux) and M1

(Dead Prez); conscious hiphop band Tumi and the Volume (District Six

Music); and even the (over)hyped T.I. Her focus and drive landed her an

invitation to perform at the legendary Show Time at The Apollo, gaining

a fan in Kool Herc, the Godfather of Hip Hop. Fast-forward 4 months and

she's spitting into mics on the District Six "I Heart Boogey"

cross-Canda Tour, culminating in an unforgettable show at Monteal's

International Jazz Festival in front of a crowd of 5000. After a taste

of the homegrown, Isis has set her eyes on the rest of the world,

launching her "MySpace MyCouch" Tour, a clever set of gigs established

solely through her contacts on MySpace. So far she has performed in

Montreal, Philadelphia and Seattle, and will eventually find her way to

California.



When she's performing, her listeners are her co-conspirators. She draws

her audience into her performance, using her beats and lyrics to get

people hype. It is never a surprise to see this woman crowdsurfing

during her DJ's scratch solo, belting out lyrics while being carried by

her peers. High energy is an understatement. And yet, despite rocking

mad amounts of energy, Isis is a thoughtful poet and songwriter. As we

create ourselves through the stories we choose to reflect upon within

us, Isis reminds listeners through her honest words that it's OK to be

human.



With her self- released debut CD The Last Minute EP, Isis has got a lot

of people talking and needing to hear more. From California to Belgium,

the lady is steady building a tidal wave of sheer lyrical force and

energy that those who sleep will be forced to awaken.



"All I want people to take from my music is that anything is possible,

and I'm too fly not to fly." - Isis
