Izzy MacArthur

Izzy MacArthur is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, and consummate creative, reimagining diaristic pop through the blend of folk storytelling and synth-driven production. Izzy restlessly hunts for the intersection of artists and storytellers that inspire her.

Splitting her childhood between New York City and on a blueberry hill in a small fishing town in Maine, Izzy developed an ear and curiosity for the tension between urban and rural, acoustic and electronic. Her lived duality translates across her sonic world, existing at the intersection of childhood nostalgia and restless curiosity. Born into an imaginative family, Izzy claims the absence of cable TV in the summers forced her and her siblings to “get creative in inciting chaos”, which was “both a headache and encouraged by my parents”.

Manifesting in her music, pulling from cult classics like Fall Out Boy and The Killers to Bon Iver and Damien Rice to Lorde, or seeking out acting projects that reflect all facets of the human condition, Izzy's primarily attracted to stories rooted in a deep sense of emotional realism.

After creatively directing, editing, and co-directing all of her own music videos, she realized she had a love for telling stories through this medium, leading her to pursue training her hometown of New York City.
