It was a chance meeting at a pub in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood of Atlanta, GA. As I was sitting at the bar, I overheard a couple next to me chatting about their recording session. After hearing her talking about playing the guitar, I politely introduced myself and Guitar Girl Magazine to the girl sitting next to me.
As it turns out, Vanessa Izabella is the powerhouse female behind the Atlanta based trio BAST. With powerful vocals, superb guitar skills, and an impressive background in the music industry, Vanessa is a force to be reckoned with. As a graduate of Berklee College of Music, Vanessa was a winner in the Gibson Guitars SG Gal competition and a finalist for Beyonce’s all-girl band.
BAST is currently finalizing their EP, has recently signed with a management company, and preparing for a great end to 2014 - gearing up to a fast start in 2015.
Vanessa chatted with us about her background in music, her first guitar, working with Pat Metheny, competing for the lead guitar spot with Beyonce's all-girl band, and her new music with BAST.
