Isabel Marie Sanchez began singing at age two. Born in Chicago, she began singing professionally at nine following her family's move to San Antonio. She was performing at Market Square when Sabado Gigante reached out to her. She rose to fame at 11, bolstered by her participation in the third season of La Voz Kids.
Sanchez's recording of Daniella Romoโs "De Mรญ Enamรณrate'' caught the attention of Abraham Quintanilla who presented her with an opportunity to record two songs. The swift recording of both songs, accomplished in just 45 minutes, culminated in a five-year recording contract with Q-Productions. Sanchez debuted her studio album, New Girl in Town in 2016, receiving critical acclaim. The album featured "Fallaste Corazรณn," "Pero Cรณmo Voy A Olvidar," and "Un Beso" all of which appeared on the Tejano Gold Countdown, where she was the first and youngest performer to have three singles at the same time. She was invited to the national LULAC Convention to perform the U.S. National Anthem and a special tribute to the national president four consecutive years.
Sanchez's second studio album, Sรญgueme (2017), featured her rendition of Selena's "Dreaming of You." At the 2017 Tejano Music Awards, she won Best New Female Artist at age 15, the youngest recipient of the award. She began performing with orchestras across the country where The Music of Selena has enjoyed sold-out crowds.
In 2018, she was nominated for Album of the Year for Sรญgueme, Song of the Year for "Porque Tu No Estas," and Female Vocalist of the Year. Sanchez performed at the first Tejano Music Hall of Fame Awards in April 2018, where she won Best New Artist. She released her third album, Xoxo - Hugs and Kisses, that same year, and reached the top-ten of iTunes' Latin Albums sales chart. In 2019, she released her fourth album, IV. Her fifth, and first independent album, Una Ilusion (2022), earned a nomination for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Tejano Album.
Sanchez is active in charitable and non-profit organizations, including LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens), St. Jude Children Research Hospital, Salvation Army, and San Antonio FIESTA Commission, to name a few.
