In the organizer's words:

Belgian newcomer sensation ISE is on a steep upward trajectory and knows how to live out of a suitcase. Her career is only just taking off and her upcoming debut album isn't even out yet. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter has a knack for turning personal stories into heartfelt indie rock songs. Over the past few years, she has built a strong and impressive reputation as a live artist across Europe, captivating audiences with her powerful presence and performances, even when she was on stage with just her guitar or piano. With her unique, raw voice and stripped-down, 90s-inspired guitar sound, ISE has won over audiences at major Belgian festivals such as Rock Werchter (where she was the youngest artist ever to perform) and Pukkelpop, as well as international festivals such as Sziget, Best Kept Secret, Traumzeit, Belgian Beer Weekend and Expo 2025 Osaka. This live success led to sold-out club shows in Belgium (two in one day!) and the Netherlands, as well as invitations to support established international artists such as Hozier and Fantastic Negrito. ISE rose to prominence in 2023 when, at just 17 years old, she played several festivals across Europe and won awards at prestigious competitions such as Sound Track and Imagine Music Experience, even before releasing her debut single. What followed was huge attention and support from radio, television, magazines and online media in Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK and beyond. 2025 marks the beginning of a new phase in her already successful but still young career, as everything is now focused on her debut album "Suitcase Child", scheduled for January 9, 2026. Since her parents divorced when she was just three years old, ISE spent her childhood moving back and forth between two homes and packing her suitcase every week - an experience she now incorporates into her music. "When your parents are divorced, you have no say and can't choose who comes into your life or becomes your new 'family'. Sometimes that's nice, but often it's not. I put my personal feelings into these songs, but maybe other people can relate to them too, and I hope they find strength and meaning in them," says the young songwriter. This album shows ISE in her development as a young adult and as an artist, with the full band arrangements enhancing her once fragile, now fiery emotions. She can't wait to hit the stage with her new sound and her full band. In the lead up to the release, ISE has released singles showcasing her musical range: "Remember?", the first single, features lush instrumentation leading to an emotional finale, followed by the more powerful tracks "When You Are Around" and "Just a Lie". With her new songs and her convincing stage presence, ISE is coming back to Germany in March for three intimate concerts.
