Isadar (born Fabian Isadore Thibodeaux (/ˈtɪbədoʊ/ TIB-ə-doh); March 7, 1968) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, musician, recording artist, music video director, and record producer. He is known for his one-man band approach of multi-tracking his vocal music in recording studios as well as self-producing his music videos. Although he does not perform live often, he occasionally tours promoting his solo piano projects and actively promotes his music videos on public access television. His piano music is featured on Pandora Radio, (including a separate Isadar (Holiday) station featuring his Christmas piano music), the "Soundscapes" channel of Music Choice, XM Sirius Radio – Channel 68 The Spa, in Canada on the Stingray Music channel The Spa, and on the Donovan Johnson created Enlightened Piano Radio (EPR) online radio station.
Isadar performed as a guest artist at Carnegie Hall in New York City on October 24, 2015 along with other Enlightened Piano Radio artists during their 2015 Awards Ceremony and Concert. In March 2016, it was announced that Isadar was nominated (and will be performing again) for "Best Jazz Driven Solo Piano" album for Enlightened Piano Radio's 2016 Awards Ceremony and Concert being held aboard the Carnival Cruise Line's "Triumph" on October 6th through the 10th, 2016.
Isadar was born in Church Point, Louisiana, and is a Cajun of Acadian ancestry. He is a graduate of Notre Dame High School in Crowley, Louisiana. He is a graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. In his teens, Isadar played flute, piccolo and oboe in his high school band and was the Drum Major during marching band season. He was a member of the mixed vocal and hand-bell choirs at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Lafayette, Louisiana and frequently was featured as flute and oboe soloist. He had minor roles and contributed musically in area community and college theatre productions. According to an interview published in The Huffington Post, he is distantly related to the former child actor Keith Thibodeaux best known for playing "Little Ricky" in the popular I Love Lucy and The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour television shows.
