Isabelle Gitlin Visits Section 36 Music!

Section 36 Music has another visitor! Isabelle Gitlin is fresh off her recent single "Long & Gone", which is simply incredible! I was so glad she wanted to visit with us to discuss the song, her musical goals, and more!

So, let's see what happens when Isabelle Gitlin visits Section 36 Music!

I absolutely love your recent single, “Long & Gone”. What can you tell me about it?

Thank you so much! For me, it’s about losing somebody that was never really yours and having to watch them live their life knowing they’re not thinking of you. It’s about living in that person’s rearview and how painful that can be. 

Do you have a favorite memory from the recording process?

I think my favorite memory was just watching the song come to life. You come in with an initial vision and then edit and tweak at it, sometimes you scrap entire ideas, but creating something from nothing, watching it grow and take on a life of its own is the best thing to me. 

You attended Berklee College of Music. What made Berkee the right choice for you?

I did. I think Berklee was just one of one in the world of contemporary music schools. There was really nothing else like it for me, especially at the time. But I will say that my most invaluable experiences and the majority of my learning/understanding of the music industry came from outside of school. It came from creating music, working with producers, and seeing musical entrepreneurs run their businesses in real time. 

What is your favorite thing about performing in front of a live audience?

My favorite thing would probably be connecting with the audience and feeling their energy. I just really love to sing and so being able to perform and know that it resonated with at least one person is very meaningful to me. 

What is your biggest musical challenge?

My biggest musical challenge would be maintaining confidence, it’s a very rough industry and being sure of yourself and your abilities can be difficult, but it’s very important.

What are your immediate music goals?

My immediate music goals would be continuing to create music and putting it out. I want to expand on the types of projects I do and possibly work on an EP or something larger. I also would love to branch out and work with other writers, and of course I’d love to keep performing.

Those are some great goals. Excited to see her accomplish them!

As always, I want to thank Isabelle for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview.

I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram, and Spotify to make sure you don't miss a thing. 

Thanks again Isabelle, and good luck reaching your goals!
