Isaac Dunbar

Isaac Dunbar is ready to party. The doe-eyed pop singer-songwriter only recently moved to Los Angeles and is still brimming with all the possibilities of moving to a new city. We met on a sunny Thursday afternoon at Echo Park and sat in the grass on a hill overlooking the lake as geese squawked nearby. He just celebrated his 21st birthday, but looking at him, you might feel transported back in time. Dunbar rocks a mustache and bell-bottom jeans. A huge afro frames his face, and he’s quick to smile.
