Issayah Maxwell’s early life mostly consisted of creativity and music. His family was heavily involved in Country Music Festivals in New Zealand which obviously would influence and point Issayah in a musical direction. When he was 3 he moved to Cairns, Far North Queensland, this is where he would grow and develop as an artist.

The album was a huge success in his eye’s, praised by all who listened and garnered over 50,000 streams on all platforms.

2021 was a turning point for Issayah, with the untimely and unfortunate passing of his father, he set out to create some of the most artistically creative music he could. He pushed the boundaries of how many genres a single artist could tackle, Issayah has now worked in more genres than most modern day artists proving his versatility (HipHop, R&B, Pop, Blues, Holiday and Dance Hall). ‘Emma Watson’ the lead track of debut EP ‘Time Flies’ which is Issayah’s most streamed project to date, helped solidify Issayah’s belonging in the world of music. As of October 2021, Issayah has announced and confirmed the upcoming release of his Christmas Holiday EP, ‘Alone For Christmas’, which shares the title of the lead single created with his favourite collaborator ‘Neptxne’ (Joshua Pini).

Only time will tell what the future holds for Issayah, with his very highly anticipated ‘Enchanté’ slated for release sometime in 2022, he will further break the boundaries of creating innovative HipHop music.
