About

I’m Isabella Kraus, a Denver-based music and audio student who loves turning ideas into polished recordings, thoughtful compositions, and memorable performances. I’m currently focused on recording & production and composition at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, while also supporting live events as part of the Lamont audio crew. Through hands-on roles across studios, theaters, and campus events, I’ve built a strong technical foundation in live sound, recording workflows, equipment setup, and troubleshooting under pressure.

Alongside audio, I enjoy teaching and performance—offering piano and vocal lessons with a student-centered, goal-oriented approach, and performing as a bassist and vocalist in indie and alternative rock projects. I also lead creative production work at KXDU Radio, overseeing recorded and produced shows, mentoring teammates, and contributing to content for the station’s “Tiny Dorm” channel. Beyond music, I express my creativity through ceramics, printmaking, digital art, and social media content for artists and bands.
