Cousin Isaac is an independent musician who records eclectic electro-pop – aka “Eclectro”. His music includes elements of New Wave, Electro, Dub, Dancehall, Rocksteady, Hip Hop, and Funk, among other genres.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Cousin Isaac has bounced around between the US and Asia, living and recording out of a wheely-bag in Laos, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Hawaii and California.

On those rare occasions when Isaac performed live before the pandemic, he played with  DJ Design, DJ VeeKee, and DeeJay Ziploc,  who scratched over Isaac looping himself beat-boxing and sampling sounds from various instruments, gizmos and toys. Occasionally inviting audience members to come up and join him on stage, Isaac would hand over the mic to MC’s and singers, giving his shows a healthy dollop of old school Hip Hop flavor.

Meanwhile, his recorded songs veer more towards sounds like Air, Beck, Depeche Mode, New Order, Money Mark, among others.

I’m Rebranding Cousin Isaac as Isaac Toast

Years ago, I was couchsurfing in Seoul and one of the things I remember from that and subsequent trips to Korea was a sandwich shop called Isaac Toast. One of our hosts, Jessica Rau called me Isaac Toast as a joke. It had a ring to it and has stuck with me ever since. And since…

New (Old) Releases

As I mentioned in my last post, I am finally releasing new music and unreleased older tracks. You can find some of it on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc. However, those services don’t really pay most artists much at all- just fractions of a cent per stream, with most of the proceeds going to the…

Music is the only thing worth pursuing

The pandemic has led me to an epiphany- that music is the only thing worth pursuing for me.  Over the years I have dabbled in game design,  made silly videos, and gotten involved in various other projects- all while putting music on the back burner. I started working on Airlift because of nostalgia for old…
