​Isabella V. - Music RST

Bio

  Isabella, age 14, is a part of All Saints' high school Instrumental class where she plays the tenor saxophone. At home, Isabella will sometimes practice songs on her piano and is now getting into learning the drums (having been inspired by Queen's drummer, Roger Taylor).
  Her mum would constantly play old songs, often from the '80s and '90s. This led to Isabella's love for the music from this era. Somewhere in the future, she hopes to become a part of an actual band to produce and perform songs for a living.
