Rhea Isabella, a Filipino-American singer-songwriter based in Baltimore, Maryland, combines her dreamy vocals and vulnerable lyrics with cinematic accompaniments to display raw, genuine emotion. 
Her influences include the lyricism of Phoebe Bridgers, Sufjan Stevens, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Lizzy McAlpine, dodie, and Searows, the experimental, genre-defying efforts of Billie Eilish, Hayley Williams, Marianas Trench, and Imogen Heap, and piano-forward musicians such as Sara Bareilles, Christina Perri, and Regina Spektor. Combining these elements lead to Rhea’s music seamlessly blending pop, alternative, folk, rock, and orchestral sounds together. 
Graduating summa cum laude with a BS in Psychology, Rhea’s interest in human nature can be seen within her music. She would one day like to incorporate therapeutic and counseling techniques into her future releases once she completes graduate school. Until then, Rhea aims to develop herself as an artist by telling her story through her songwriting, and is eternally thankful for those who had, have, and want to support her.
