Izzy Burns- Singing Because I Once Couldn’t

Izzy Burns (Oct 9, 2002) is an American folk pop singer from Moscow, Idaho, who sings because she once couldn’t. Despite facing significant medical challenges early in life, including an emergency tracheostomy surgery that initially left her without a voice as a child for the first two years of her life, Izzy has defied the odds to become a talented musician and singer. After nearly 20 surgeries and years of therapy she was able to not just speak, but sing and Izzy began to immerse herself in singing, playing guitar, and writing songs. 

Her debut project, You Can’t Stop Me Now, released in 2019, and her follow-up project, A Heartbeat of Your Time, showcase her remarkable journey and musical versatility. Her career took a pivotal turn when she sat on a plane next to Mellad Abeid, a guitar professor at Gonzaga University, who helped refine her songwriting and production skills.
