He is a kind man and insists that Isra advertises his shop when she becomes famous; Background: Isra grew up in a strict and traditional British-Pakistani family, her father left when she was a young girl and so she was raised by her mother and her grandmother. Growing up, Isra was never the rebellious one and did her best to be the perfect daughter. Isra’s mother and grandmother valued cultural traditions and a conventional lifestyle, envisioning a future for Isra that involved a stable career and an arranged marriage.

The turning point in Isra’s life was the death of her older sister, Sara. Sara was killed in a car accident when Isra was just 13. Sara had always been the rebellious one, pushing back against her mother’s cultural expectations, the profound opposite of Isra, and her death left a huge void in the family. For Isra, the loss was devastating and transformative. Sara had been her confidante and the only person to encourage Isra’s individuality. The grief and guilt Isra felt was overwhelming.

In the wake of Sara’s death, Isra’s relationship with her mother and grandmother grew more strained. Isra’s guardians, engulfed in their grief, leaned further into their cultural and religious traditions, seeking solace and meaning. Isra, on the other hand, found herself further alienated, no longer wanting to conform to the expectations that had only grown more suffocating. She found solace in music, particularly punk rock. Isra channeled her pain, anger and longing into her performances, using her music as a form of cathartic release and a form of rebellion against a world that felt increasingly oppressive. Isra was kicked out of her family home when they discovered she had formed a band.

Forming "Crows Feet" became Isra's lifeline. The band was not just a musical endeavor but a statement of identity and resistance. Through her music, Isra sought to honor Sara's memory in her own way, by living authentically and fiercely. The band provided her with a sense of purpose and community, allowing her to forge a new family with her bandmates, who shared her passion and understood her struggles. Isra's leadership in the band is driven by a deep-seated need to create something meaningful out of her pain, turning her grief into a powerful force for self-expression and change.
