## Caption

Over the last few years, Isis Damil (isisdamil) has built a name for herself in Detroit’s jazz and R&B scene. Echoing heartfelt lyricism with her mezzo-soprano vocals, you’d think being a vocalist was her lifelong dream. But it wasn’t until she was in her 20s that she stopped running from her true passion.⁠
⁠
“What’s so funny is I felt like my parents forced me into music when I was younger,” Damil says. “So I rebelled. I was like, ‘I’ll do anything but music.’ I even went to school to be a dentist, so that’s how much I didn’t want to be a musician. But I’m a strong believer in when you’re called to do things, it just keeps coming back around, and musical opportunities just kept presenting themselves to me, and I couldn’t ignore it.”⁠
⁠
Damil concludes her tour with back-to-back shows this weekend at Miss Eva’s Detroit (missevasdetroit). See link in bio to learn more. ⁠
