Isaac Aesili’s debut solo album Eye See is a rich tapestry of sound with R&B at its heart, and soul, reggae and funk woven within. Experimental and futuristic in some parts, warm and soulful in others, the album, an extension of its author, is a tribute to diversity. Isaac was adopted and raised in Aotearoa, New Zealand with a cultural and ethnic heritage comprising Guyanese, Pakeha, and Maori. Eye See is an album that celebrates people’s differences and explores the universality of music in an increasingly diverse world. The album features collaborations with a variety of gifted kiwi vocalists; Aaradhna, Rosita Vai, Rachel Fraser, Mara TK and Deva Mahal.
Isaac is a trumpet player, producer, vocalist and DJ with a love of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, fusion, world and electronic dance music. In 2003 Isaac completed a Masters Degree in Political Science From the University of Auckland with a thesis on the topic of Human Rights, Indigenous Peoples and Globalization. Over the last decade Isaac has been an integral member of: Karlmarx, Solaa, Opensouls, Eru Dangerspiel and The Recloose Live Band. Isaac's debut Eye See is an investigation of our world looking towards the future.
