This is just the beginning for Isabela Merced
Merced was sure that she wanted to become an actress at a very young age. In fact, she made her Broadway debut at the age of ten. The shift in her career came with the role of CJ Martin in the Nickelodeon television series 100 Things to Do Before High School. With the lead role, Merced was able to prove her versatility as an actress, opening up bigger opportunities for her.
Apart from this, Merced is also a singer and released her first single, Papi, in October 2019. On May 22, 2020, Merced released her debut EP, The Better Half of Me, and was named one of Billboard’s top 15 new Peruvian artists to listen to in July 2020. With so many projects lined up, things are looking very good for the budding star.
