Little Dog Star

Little Dog Star is the project of Izzy Steele, a north Manchester-born, London-based artist whose music sits at the intersection of restless honesty and careful craft. Named after one of the smallest but brightest stars in the sky, the project began to take shape as Izzy made the move south from her hometown, a decision that also marked her exit from a nearly decade-long acting career that began in childhood and defined much of her teenage years. Music has always been an undercurrent in Izzy’s life; growing up in the orbit of Manchester's rich creative scene, she first discovered it through her dad's car stereos – shouting along to Fun Lovin’ Criminals on long drives with the roof down – and her grandmother’s Elton John songbooks, which inspired her learning of the piano. Touchstones of her upbringing included Radiohead, Rufus Wainwright, and David Bowie, eventually melting with modern influences like Bon Iver and The Japanese House.

Her 2024 debut EP National Disgrace marked her first venture into music, and follow-up

Something Infinite feels like an arrival. Thematically it explores the aftermath of upheaval – movement, searching, and the particular isolation of being dissatisfied with a life that looked enviable from the outside. Lyrically it finds Izzy at her most honest and direct, feeling a newfound sense of bravery after such a huge period of transition.
