Issac, 19 years old, OR

Isaac has had a challenging journey growing up, spending most of his childhood in foster homes. He moved from place to place, never staying long enough to feel truly settled. He was adopted twice—once at a young age, but it didn’t last, and again later by a family that gave him a more stable home. Though the road wasn’t easy, Isaac has learned to be resilient and strong. His past left him with a lot of emotions he doesn’t always talk about, but he’s found a powerful way to express himself through music. Isaac discovered his love for playing the drums when he was just a kid, tapping out rhythms on tables and walls wherever he went. Over time, drumming became more than a hobby—it became an escape. Whenever he feels overwhelmed by his thoughts or memories, he turns to music to find peace and clarity. Creating beats and experimenting with sounds helps him work through emotions that are hard to put into words. For Isaac, music is more than just noise—it’s a lifeline, a way to take control of his story and turn pain into something meaningful.
