EPISODE 13: ISABELLA SUMMERS

This time around we're joined by Isabella Summers aka Isa Machine. Isabella rose to prominence as part of the band Florence And The Machine and has since enjoyed an extremely varied career that has included collaborations with Cy Twombly and Beyoncé. We talk about her artistic beginnings as part of the South London squat-art collective !WOWOW! as well as her latest project - producing the soundtrack to the new Amazon series Little Fires Everywhere. She tells us about her time touring with the band and how she turned it into a global gallery tour which ignited her interest in classical painters. Me and Isa go way back and we also spend a bit of time talking about our days spent partying and making music in South East London at time when it didn't cos the earth to live there. We also talk about the loss of Isa's father, which happened early in lockdown. She tells us what a strange experience it is to lose someone so close at such a strange time and also what big influence he has been on her creativity.
