Issey Jean is a Berlin-based singer-songwriter from Pōneke, crafting evocative music that blends powerful melodies with honest reflections on life. Her debut album Daisy Fever is a 12-track, homegrown project recorded in her family home alongside her father (producer) and brother (drummer), resulting in a moody collection of songs with a feverish edge, pulsing with intensity, compassion, and emotional depth.

Issey returns home to celebrate the release of Daisy Fever with a special album launch at Vogelmorn Upstairs. She’ll perform with her New Zealand band featuring Issey Jean and Mikey Bennett on guitars, Olivia Campion on drums, and Audrey May on bass. Support comes from alternative art-rockers, Salt —promising a great Saturday night of live music.
