My only request when I die, is that my pallbearers be of wildly different heights.
Like escaping the crime scene on a unicycle, Isaac Neilson brings all the gusto of a deranged axe murderer haplessly floundering to preserve the integrity of a ming vase on a ski slalom to the indie rock genre...

Isaac is a multi-instrumental winger-songwriter who plopped out into the world to his hometown of Buxton at the ripe old age of 0. Following this he decided it'd be an alright idea to pickup a guitar, amongst a mufflewangery of other instruments. As he says - "I can play anything you don't blow". A long short while after this in the year of 2022 Isaac found himself tickling the ivories accompanying friend Maia Miller-Lewis on Radio 4's Loose Ends, deciding there that there was no reason why he couldn't write a few tunes and ava bash too! And so it began, or is it begun, or should it be begins? Either way, no one has yet put out a cease and deceased disorder...
​
Since then he's been supported by BBC introducing, played a bunch of festivals, had one cancelled, wrote some new tunes, and is currently hacking away at his next batch of tunes with MPG Rising Star award winning engineer Matt Taylor. In the space of five short months Isaac has come further than most do in a week! In fact, I'd even go as far as to say a fortnight.
