Hi, my name is Israel Rodrigue, better known as "Iz" or "Izzy". Music was always my number one passion while growing up in Lockport, about thirty miles south of New Orleans. I couldn't help but to be influenced by many different types of music, growing up in this area. I journeyed up a road which led me to lead singer in a popular rock band, "Fisto", which broke out with one cd that was semi sucessful, at least in my part of the world. I got into keyboards and club music to rap and sweet grooving beats.
I began writing and producing my own collection of music that was influenced by hip hop, rock, techno, and New Orleans style club groove. My dreams and goals are to enjoy the pleasures of writing, arranging, and performing music that everyone can enjoy.
I am now recording in local studios and doing just about the whole project on my own. Well, I guess I'll let the music explain the rest of the story on it's own.

But anyway, after playing guitar and singing back up for my father, myself being was only wanting to venture more. I got into keyboards and club music to rap and sweet grooving beats. You could say I really had much fun as we filled bars and clubs with fans who were there to watch us perform. But the joy only lasted so long as I was ready for something more than a Friday or Saturday jam on the bayou.
I began writing and producing my own collection of music that was influenced by hip hop, rock, techno, and New Orleans style club groove. With the help of a fellow musician and also a good friend, we collaborated ten songs which we greatly believe in. My dreams and goals are to enjoy the pleasures of writing, arranging, and p
