I’m Izaiah Forman, a passionate artist with a love for both music and visual arts.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be recognized multiple times on the Dallas International Guitar Festival’s “10 Under 20” list, which has been a huge honor. It has also been an absolute privilege to be the first artist to be endorsed by Platinum Music Complex NRH, where I have been able to record my original music.

“The Boar” my first single was released on all major platforms under, Izaiah Forman Music, on November 1st 2024. It was an absolute thrill to be able to write, produce, sing vocals, play guitar and bass on that recording in the studio.

Since then “Texas Heat” my second single has now been released to all platforms in January 2025.

My 3rd single release “Break That Bridge” was released to all platforms May 2025.

It has been a pleasure to win the North Texas Blues Challenge twice. I played for the IBC in Memphis, representing Trinity River Blues Society and all of North Texas. My journey into music started in 2020, when the pandemic hit, and I picked up the guitar. Since then, I’ve immersed myself in the world of blues, jazz and rock. I am self taught on electric guitar, but have had a year of classical guitar training.

Inspiration has come from legends like Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and many others. At that point I had been playing guitar for 2 years and Tommy Katona first recognized my guitar playing in Jimmy Wallace’s Guitar Shop and invited me to perform a few songs with him on stage. This introduced me to playing on stage and auditioning for the 10 under 20.

I’m also a multi-instrumentalist, playing various horns such as tuba, trumpet, euphonium and many other brass instruments. I am constantly finding new ways to express myself through music. In addition to music, I’m an avid artist. I love to draw and paint, and I enjoy exploring new ideas through visual art.

I was very fortunate to be given an opportunity for my first art show/music event at the prestigious Skypony Gallery in October 2024. Music and visual art have been the heart beat of my home growing up.

My grandfather is a music producer and my dad is an amazing visual artist. My parents are my main source of encouragement to pursue art, music, guitar building, movie making, the orchestra, and all things creative.

Whether it’s through the strings of my guitar or the strokes of a paintbrush, I’m always working to push my creative boundaries and share my creative passions with others.

I’m thankful to all that have helped and encouraged me on this journey. Looking forward to all that God has for my future.
