Isabel Novela was born in 1985 in Mozambique in a musical talented family.
when she was 5 years old she came in contact with music . Soon she developed a big passion for it,the desire to sing came to her and didn't go away. When she was 10 she recorded her first solo song,that made part in a children music CD compilation.
Isabel started singing professionally at the age of 14 doing backing vocals in different groups from Mozambique and South Africa and since then she participated in several projects from Funky to Soul, roots to hiphop,Jazz and World music, with whom she toured extensively. Her compositions were also included in albums released by projects and individuals from South Africa, Mozambique,Netherlands, U.S.A and Portugal in where she participated has singer and/or backing vocal.
Recently she recorded the album New Dawn with her 3 brothers and sister in Holland NecoNovellas the family project.
Composing music & singing is one of her biggest passions in life. She writes her lyrics in English, Portuguese and Chopi/Changana (the native dialect of the area where her tribe, the Chopi people, originally come from in Mozambique ).
Her music can be best described as balance between light Jazz,pop,soul & world music. Her African roots mixed with these different influences brings a special taste to the music.
When she sings she moves from one style to the other and she sings with her soul. Her Lyrics and sweet/smooth/strong voice brings up to the listeners different emotions and feelings. You can Dance/Sing/Cry/Think/Feel or just listen
Isabel explains:
"I grew up being inspired and listening to different styles of music from roots music the typical traditional African rhythms to the western styles ( soul, jazz,classic ,funk,world )
When I create my music my ears easily jump all over these different styles and I find myself combining them.
The languages easily come to play when I write my lyrics as I like to combine English, Portuguese, & chopi/changana ( dialects from home)."
Musicians like Miriam Makeba,NecoNovellas,Zap Mama,Jill Scott, Kadja Nin,Erykhay Badu,Joe Zawinul,Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, to name few, are the ones that truly inspire her evolution and search for her personal style .
" First and foremost I wanna reach and touch as many people I can with my music."
" I've been fortunate enough to see much of the world, and can't wait to see the rest & share my music"
Chabaaaa, its coooooold here... but I'm feeling good, working hard and sending you grand abracos and best wishes for inspiration and happiness to keep on flowing! Hope all is well, not working to hard, are you....?! Love
