Isadora: A Heartfelt Journey too the Latin Grammys
Isadora, a rising artist nominated for Best New artist at the 26th Latin Grammy Awards, approaches music with a deep exploration of emotion and a commitment to authenticity. The nomination itself brought her to tears, a testament to a lifelong dream realized unexpectedly early in her career. “Every time I see that video I start crying again,” she confessed, overwhelmed by the recognition from industry professionals she deeply admires.
For Isadora, music isn’t confined to a single genre or feeling. “I don’t believe there is only one type of love,” she explained, highlighting her belief in the diverse spectrum of human connection.This translates into her songwriting, where she embraces a range of styles, from rock and reggaeton to ballads. The process of choosing which songs to release under her own voice, however, was a deliberate one. “One day I had to write a rock song. The other, a reggaeton song… And I think that within those compositions sometimes it was like, ‘ok, I love these songs, but which ones do I want to come from my voice?'”
The creative freedom afforded by her independent label, Mariposa Music, was crucial in this exploration. A University of Miami graduate with a degree in music business, Isadora utilized the label to carefully curate a project that truly represented her artistic vision.”Having my own label also allowed me to take my time to find what the music is, what the message that Isadora as an artist wants to give,” she stated.
Isadora also actively collaborates with other artists, having worked with performers like Elena Rose and Maffio. she emphasizes the emotional depth inherent in songwriting, noting, “There are many emotions involved in the creation of a song. I learned a lot from the process and I continue composing for others, but at the same time, making my career.”
Despite acknowledging the challenges and vulnerabilities of sharing her work – “This thing that I protected so much, which is my entire heart, now I’m putting it out there” – Isadora remains resolute in her path. She finds fulfillment in responding to her musical calling, expressing with “joviality” that she is ”proud of what I’m doing,” regardless of external reception. She believes this album represents a pivotal moment, a culmination of her journey and a genuine offering of herself to the world.
