Prepare to be captivated by the remarkable journey of Kimiela “Candy” Isaacs, a visionary force who shatters stereotypes and proves that disability is never a hindrance to greatness. Demonstrating exceptional abilities from a tender age, Candy began singing and articulating with remarkable clarity at just 10 months old. Her journey culminated in the attainment of a degree in Jazz and Popular Music Studies from the esteemed Edna Manley College.

With an impressive collection of 65 medals, including an astounding 30 gold, 5 silver, and 30 trophies, garnered from her stunning performances as both a JCDC Festival Competition performer and composer, Candy has consistently defied expectations. Notably, she clinched Second Place in the JCDC’s Gospel Song competition in 2009, and in 2021, she emerged as a finalist in the prestigious Festival Song competition.

Beyond her remarkable achievements in music, Candy is a beacon of inspiration as an educator. Sharing her expertise as a teacher at Wolmer’s Girls and various primary schools, she imparts not only musical knowledge but also invaluable life lessons to her students.

In recognition of her profound impact on the world of music and education, on April 27, 2024, Kimiela was bestowed with an honorary doctoral degree in sacred music from the renowned One We International Theological Seminary (OWITS). Her life’s mantra, “It’s not the Candy thatlives, but the Christ that lives in Candy,” encapsulates her strong faith and resilience, serving as a guiding light for all who aspire to overcome obstacles and realize their dreams.
