Isco Cruz makes music for the midnight soul.

Blending R&B, Trapsoul, melodic rap, and the echoes of a restless heart, his sound lives in the space between love and loss, desire and doubt, late-night vulnerability and cold ambition. Born in Cape Town with Angolan roots, Isco’s music reflects the complex intersections of modern relationships, identity, and emotion — always unfiltered, always intentional.

Isco Cruz first emerged in 2023 with a string of emotionally charged singles: Gone Forever, Clarity, and Rather Be. These early releases set the tone for an artist unafraid to be vulnerable, establishing a signature sound defined by nocturnal energy and lyrical introspection.

In 2024, Cruz levelled up with IC Flows: Before Heartbreak, a prelude to his breakout mixtape Heartbreak’s Paradox. The tape blurred genre lines with poetic precision, capturing the contradictions of love and loss. He followed it with Be Your Man / Fast Lane Love and Summer’s Still Nocturnal, expanding his sonic palette while carving a space of his own in the modern R&B landscape.

By 2025, the vision sharpened. New Timezone opened the year with a cyber-soul bounce, followed by the dual release Make You Mine / Fantasies, a sultry two-pack that blurred temptation and intention. With Get Lost / 4AM Demo, Isco doubled down on duality—pairing a polished single with a raw, confessional demo, capturing both sides of his artistry. Editorial support followed on playlists like Fresh Finds R&B, R&B Weekly, and DND, signaling his growing resonance with audiences worldwide.

For fans of Drake, Brent Faiyaz, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and 6LACK, Isco Cruz is the next artist to watch.
