Isaac Horn finds his musical direction deeply rooted in his heritage, tracing back to his great-grandfather, whose cherished Martin acoustic guitar has profoundly influenced his career. Growing up in a house brimming with music, Isaac first followed in his mother’s footsteps by mastering the piano. By his early teens, he was captivated by the electric guitar, drawing inspiration from the evocative sound of The Tallest Man On Earth, aka Kristian Matsson, a Swedish singer-songwriter. During his school years, Isaac proudly embraced his identity as a “choir nerd,” where he met Lincoln Mick. The two kindred spirits began writing and playing songs together, eventually forming the dynamic group The Arcadian Wild, which continues to tour and record fervently. A pivotal moment in Isaac's musical journey was receiving his great-grandfather’s 1970s Martin Guitar, a treasured instrument that has been a wellspring of inspiration throughout his career.
