Paul Isola is a Gibraltarian musician and songwriter. He is lead vocalist in the Flamenco metal band, Breed 77.
Isola was one of the original members and founders of the band.[1] He also plays the djembe, piano, flamenco guitar and palmas.
Being a native Gibraltarian, Isola is naturally bilingual in English and Spanish and uses this ability to his advantage when writing songs. He often incorporates Spanish words and phrases into the band's lyrics, sometimes writing them fully in Spanish.
Paul announced his departure from Breed 77 on their website on 28 August 2013,[2] citing personal reasons. He stated he was leaving the band in good hands with new singer, Rui Lopez.
In early 2014, Paul temporarily returned to Breed 77 to complete a 'very special one-off tour' of the UK.[3] The tour was in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the release of the band's seminal Cultura album and culminated on 15 March ith a Main Stage performance at Hammerfest VI. He then rejoined.[4]
