Michael Isaak

"...dream-pop meets folk music, done how it should be - with heart and soul."

- It's All Indie

Indie folk, Egyptian American style.

Michael Isaak is an emerging artist from Los Angeles who draws inspiration from both guitar driven folk and classical Arabic music. Having grown up in the US, Isaak shares how music enables him to reconnect with his homeland thousands of miles away.

In 2024, Isaak released Forever is a Scary Word, a six-track EP which he’d been crafting for over almost two years. Self-produced in collaboration with Owen Korzec and featuring Arabic instrumentation by Abanoub Samir on “plane thoughts,” the project presents an intimate glimpse into Isaak’s life and internal monologue, characterized by his distinctive vocals and delicate guitar patterns.

The project went on to amass over 100k streams on Spotify, commencing in Isaak’s largest headline show to date at The Moroccan Lounge in July 2024.
