Isobel Campbell is a Scottish singer-songwriter, cellist, and composer, whose ethereal voice and sophisticated musical arrangements have enchanted audiences since the early 2000s. Campbell first gained recognition as a member of the indie band Belle and Sebastian, with whom she performed from 1996 until 2002. Her contributions to the band as a cellist and occasionally as a vocalist helped mould the band’s distinctive baroque pop sound.

Embarking on a solo career, Campbell has continued to hone her craft, releasing multiple critically acclaimed albums. Notably, her collaborations with singer Mark Lanegan, including the Mercury Prize-nominated album "Ballad of the Broken Seas," have drawn praise for their hauntingly beautiful melding of Campbell's delicate vocals with Lanegan's husky tones. Her solo works, such as 2006's "Milkwhite Sheets" and the more recent "There is No Other…” released in 2020, showcase her talent for creating atmospheric and introspective folk-driven music. Isobel's ability to traverse different styles while maintaining her unique artistic identity has solidified her status as a respected figure in the indie-music world. Her latest releases, like "Ant Life" and "Runnin' Down a Dream," continue to exhibit her expansive approach to music, incorporating everything from chamber pop sensibilities to bold cover interpretations.
