In an age where music often feels temporary, Isha Ponti is creating something enduring—songs that resonate deeply, performances that light up the stage, and a narrative grounded in the love of her most devoted supporter: her mother, Mommy Ponti.

From an emerging talent to an award-winning artist, Isha Ponti has earned the title of Asia’s Pop Sweetheart. She is not just a singer; she is also a songwriter, dancer, rapper, and producer, whose artistry captivates audiences both on and off the stage.s

Isha's creative leadership as the Managing Director of Ponti Productions, along with her recognition as the Aliw Awards’ Best New Female Artist of 2024, indicate that her career is on a remarkable upward trajectory.

Whether she is performing an acoustic rendition of "Manchild" or debuting a brand-new single, Isha radiates a sincerity that deeply resonates with her audiences.

Isha recently shared the spotlight as the opening act for music legend Marco Sison in "Seasons of OPM" at the Theater at Solaire. She is set to perform at the 50th-anniversary concert of the great Nonoy Zuñiga, titled "Beyond Gold: Songs of a Lifetime," on Sept. 5 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. The concert will feature musical direction by Bobby Gomez and concert direction by the brilliant Calvin Neria. Isha is proving that her artistry belongs among the greats.

She has written, composed, and released music that speaks from the heart. With a growing catalog of original songs, each one reveals a new facet of her creative soul. Her song "Life Isn’t Perfect" serves as a reflective anthem about resilience and self-acceptance.

'Babalik Ka' is a heartfelt Tagalog ballad released June 13, 2025.' Tara, on the other hand, is a playful, upbeat track with irresistible energy. While 'Pakpak' is a catchy and empowering pop hit.

Isha recently released 'Dyahe', a smooth and emotionally textured single, co-written and produced with Adonis Tabanda. And "Invincible," which is a motivational anthem celebrating strength and perseverance.

And there’s no stopping Isha as she released her latest composition last Aug. 15. Entitled 'You Loved Me First', the song is dedicated to Isha's mom and can also be dedicated to all the moms in the world. The single dropped on the exact day and date of Isha's mom's birthday, which is also Aug. 15. 

"You Loved Me First" is such a beautiful and heartwarming composition Isha penned with Adonis Tabanda as arranger and producer of the song for Ponti Productions.

These songs are not just music—they are stories, emotions, and moments translated into melody. In her voice, Isha captures her ethos as an artist. "Life isn’t perfect, but in every song, there’s truth and connection.

And on the role her mother plays in her journey. Isha shares, “My mom has been my anchor—her belief in me makes every note possible. These sentiments are not just statements—they are the foundation of her work ethic, her humility, and her courage to take creative risks."

If Isha’s music is a beacon, her mother is the steady light that guides it. Her mom is the woman behind the star. From encouraging early songwriting experiments to being present at every milestone, her mom has been Isha’s mentor, cheerleader, and emotional refuge. 

Her belief in her daughter’s potential is as unwavering as it is transformative —fueling Isha’s artistry with love and purpose. 

Beyond her recorded work, Isha connects with her audience through live performances, social media storytelling, and collaborative projects. 

Whether reviving old lyrics into new compositions or working alongside fellow artists, she continues to evolve her sound while staying true to her roots.

Her latest releases—especially "Dyahe," demonstrate a growing mastery of musical storytelling, blending rhythmic appeal with lyrical intimacy.

With an expanding fanbase, a slate of new music in the works, and a presence that bridges Filipino and international audiences, Isha stands at the threshold of a defining chapter in her career. 

Every song she writes, every stage she graces, carries both her truth and the steadfast love of her mother. Isha is not just an artist to watch — she’s a voice to remember. She is composing the soundtrack to resilience, love, and ambition. 

And at the heart of it, all is a story of a mother and daughter—dreaming together, creating together, and proving that with talent, hard work, and unshakable support, the world is yours to sing to.
