Issy Burnup

  Who is Issy Burnup? She’s surprising. She’s unique. She’s an artist.

And she's very, very good.  Plus, she's pioneering a new musical genre. She's calling it Tarantino Rock. She takes her inspiration from a wide mix artists such as Alanis Morisette, Meatloaf, David Bowie and Ball Park Music. Although her music is hard to define, it can be described as alternative rock, reminiscent of the early 1970’s Brit Rock sound.

Being a natural performer, both in life and on stage, she is someone that is simply captivating to watch. With highs and lows in her live shows, she goes from a soft and heartfelt ode to love, to her wild and dangerous character – The Night Rider. Issy is many things, with ‘entertaining’ being very much a defining characteristic.

Using her guitar prowess as a tool, she never fails to find songwriting inspiration both from her travels abroad and upbringing in a regional area.

With her debut single ‘When’s Take Off?’ hitting Number 1 on the iTunes Rock charts, and her second single ‘Denizens of the Deeps’ hitting Number 2, she has gone from strength to strength since.

Most recently she has had ‘Denizens of the Deep’ featured in Brisbane documentary ‘Concrete Denizens’, which has just premiered at the SSFF Milan Film Festival. She has also performed on a wide variety of stages including supporting rock legend Ian Moss at the Triffid, performing at the Gympie Music Muster, Airlie Beach Festival of Music, Nashville (USA), supporting Golden Guitar Winner Sara Storer live, and playing the iconic Zoo venue in Brisbane.

So, who is Issy Burnup? A songwriter. A guitarist. A hell of a performer. And finally, an artist.

Put simply – she is someone to remember.
