Singing since the age of seven, it was as vocalist with Sinead O’Connor’s original band “Ton Ton MaCoute” that Íse first got drawn into the world of rock and roll. But tiring of being a mouthpiece for someone else’s thoughts she left to form her own band “The Restless Natives ” where, following the death of her youngest brother she shaved her head, changed her name and screamed her anger and angst out in her pop/punk songs. Eventually ditching the electric guitar and drums for acoustic and keys, a more mellow sound emerged which attracted the interest of Enya’s manager Nicky Ryan. A working relationship with him was followed by a record company “Influx” being formed around the Natives by Dublin entrepreneur Dave Quirke. With their first single chosen for inclusion in the soundtrack of the latest Noel Pearson (My Left Foot,The Field) movie, Íse was also asked to sing the theme song. Then with the death of her father that year coming so soon after her brothers, Íse found herself propelled into a reclusive period of creativity, emerging only rarely to amaze unsuspecting audiences with her spine tingling performances. It would be a full 10 years when, with the encouragement of friends and fellow musicians, Íse would set about recording what was to become her début album “Angel One”.
“If the feeling of comfort and the process of healing had one voice it would be the voice of Íse’s......as the saying goes...stars are born not made....and she is truly a star.“

Discontent is a word taught by only modern times in a modern world. We have everything we need and could ever want right here... right now.
Did you notice the sun came up again. Did you see it go down tucking under the horizon for another part of the world to see tomorrows sunrise. Did you see the moon rising early this morning as it set for the night upon another tribe. Raising and lowering tides in the sea, you must believe. That we live in a world we want to understand... but you don't have to.
Discontent is the never ending control freak in us that wants the job of Gods. To know all and see all. When really the sun rises and sets with or without you. The math in this world does not need to be calculated. Your survivability does not rely on it. You can have it all figured out, it may take a life time. But what will you have in the end.
I may not be content in every worldly endeavor. But I smelled the morning air on purpose and said, yep... It's still there. I listened to a quiet night with in a little town that has no car horns. I stretch my hands open just to feel life in my palms. I ask the skies to bring me whatever it wants... because I am not in total control. How freeing.... it is.
