Biography
Isaac Dunbar is an alternative pop singer-songwriter from Barnstable, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He signed with RCA Records in 2019.
Early life
His father is Liberian, his mother Italian. He began writing and recording songs at age 12 and uploading them to SoundCloud.
Career
On 31 October 2017 the blog We Are Going Solo reposted his track "Pharmacy", drawing wider attention to his work. In late 2018 his tracks "Freshman Year" (which debuted on The Fader on 2 October) and "Blonde" attracted further notice, with an additional boost when "Pharmacy" was featured on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show.
In July 2019 he released his debut EP Balloons Don't Float Here, and Complex premiered his single "Ferrari." In the fall of that year he toured with Girl in Red, and in November appeared on MTV's PUSH Live concert series.
In October 2019 RCA Records signed him, scheduling his debut on the label, Isaac's Insects, for April 2020. The title track was released in January 2020, and that month he was named to Idolator's list of artists to watch and E!News' "Future Pop Stars You Need to Know Now." On 12 February 2019 Wonderland debuted his single "Mime". Paper then premiered and Billboard featured the followup video for "Makeup Drawer," a track he'd written when he was only 14 that had major significance for Dunbar as he "explained that he'd been waiting to release this song until he was ready to get honest about his experience with homophobia."
Dunbar begins a U.S. and European tour on 14 April 2020 at Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles.
