Ishi was born as an experiment between friends in Dallas, TX. In 2007, JT Mudd & Brad Dale set out to create a sound that would redefine their own voice in modern day music. Their vision was to blend the classic, soulful story-telling and organic instrumentation of traditional folk music, with the infinite sonic possibilities offered through electronic production. Experimentation quickly evolved into a journey of sound that would ultimately lead to Ishi’s debut, Through the Trees, released May of 2010 and Digital Wounds April of 2013.

Ishi plans tour later this Fall & Winter supporting his 2023 singles "Moon Sky" with Maceo Plex & "Ride or Die" with Electrophunk. Ishi thrives to create an uplifting atmosphere through his influences of Soul, Funk, & House music. Similar artists: Mild Minds, Leisure, & LCD Soundsystem.
