Matisa

Born in Rome, but currently based in the Italian capital of Arts, Florence, Isabella (aka Matisa) has been plugging away at her sound, formulating her signature energy that is bright, bubbling & emotional. Matisa picked up DJing in her mid-teens after feeling her creative expression was hindered by traditional musical instruments.

After graduating with a degree in Political Science, with the prospect of working in government, Matisa felt her creative side yearning for more freedom, hence studying & later receiving a Masters in Fashion Product Management at Polimoda: one of the top fashion institutes in the world.

Since exploring the diversity of DJing, the urge to etch her sound into the dance floor spirit was too overwhelming. So from her debut EP on Optimo Music in 2019, Matisa has released music with Permanent Vacation, Biologic Records, Dischi Autunno, Butter Sessions, On Loop & most recently Steel City Dance Discs. Gaining support from Ben UFO, Peach, Nicola Cruz, Mall Grab, Shanti Celeste, Sally C, Midland, Carista, Moxie and Eris Drew, amongst many others, is all testament to her infectious energy.

Now with no boundaries to artistic influence or expression & keeping strong ties with both the fashion & music industries, Matisa not only works & collaborates with top brands, talented designers & creatives but seamlessly & authentically ties both careers & passions together. “My music is born to inspire expression & encourage you to lose yourself in the moment.”
