Published at our Underground HMTV Canada eZine at: DJ Tina Interviews Ise

Independant female solo artist that takes your breath away in her powerful vocals. One of my best friends.

I had the fantastic opportunity of interviewing my friend from Ireland Ise about her album Angel One. Ise had sent me a CD over a year ago a must hear. Ise music is very original and a masterpiece of sound. Ise is able to touch your heart with her beautiful lyrics and you can feel the experience of emmotions she had gone through. Angel One CD is a treasured gift and a must have gem to own.

The Journey - Íse's Biography I was born into a family of Lighthouse Keepers and Master Craftsmen in a small coastal town called Balbriggan, north of Dublin, Ireland.


One of my earliest memories is of the sound of my Fathers trumpet alarm call resonating throughout the little 2 up1 down house every morning cos he needed at least half of the 11 kids to push his old Bedford van ....and on a Sunday morning as he played the trumpet, marching behind him around and around the table before he took us on our Sunday mystery tour.

He would put one of the armchairs into the back of the van and we'd all pile in........2 lucky kids up front and 9 bobbing heads behind fighting over whose turn it was to sit in the armchair! But as soon as the singing began, harmony ruled.......literally! We'd usually end up on a local beach picking shells or washed up coal. Or in the Autumn, out in the countryside picking wild crab apples and damsons but all the way there and all the way back, we'd sing along with our dad to all his favourite musicals like some madcap hill billy version of the Von Trappe family!

There wasn't spare cash for music lessons but my eldest brothers voice was noticed by a local priest who was an accomplished musician and voice trainer. He became a champion boy soprano and there were many reel to reel recordings of his voice in the house. I use to listen to them mesmerised and at an early age learned to sing some of the classical standards from them.



But at the same time I was also listening to my older siblings record collections......mostly Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Neil Young and Cat Stevens. So I left school with buckets full of naivety and dreams of becoming a musical diva, a rock star and an opera singer! So as Jack of all trades and Master of none, I joined Sinead O'Connors ex rock group........Ton Ton MaCoote. While in the band I did a musical, Blood Brothers and was also singing the classics at weddings and funerals! Then on the road to no-where, disaster struck. My youngest brother of 13 died and I woke up and began a journey inside.
