Mary Isis
Born in Santa Cruz, California to peace loving parents that honored and nurtured her natural musical abilities, she has been singing since before she could even talk. She began piano lessons at 7, with classical training in the Suzuki Method. At 8 she began singing in schools and at large public events around Santa Cruz as part of the Peace Child Choir ensemble. At twelve her family uprooted and relocated to the Big Island of Hawaii. Motivated by her fascination and love of the natural world she attended University of Hawaii at Hilo and received a BA in Natural Science and Biology, and then began serving in the Education field for over ten years. Thriving in the Puna Community, close to the living and growing earth, her creativity flourished and was nourished by the beauty of the wild and powerful nature around her, especially the ocean. In 2006, after returning from living in Boston for a year, she began producing her own music.
