Thirteen year old Isabella Clarke is from Victoria, Australia. Isabella has been singing for several years and has received various musical accolades from singing competitions. She has posted a number of her performances on YouTube. She is a principal vocalist in the Victorian State Schools Spectacular, singing in front of 10,000 people in Melbourne.
