Isaiah Joshua Foster was unexpectedly born to a pair of ministers in San Diego, California. Having a single mother devoted to the church, he gained the name little man after everyone saw him jumping around, stomping his feet, and singing with the choir. Luckily his mother saw a gift and gave him the greatest gift of placing him in a performing arts school, this is when he discovered his fiery passion for the arts. On this path of discovery both his parents were called home unexpectedly, life unveiled the harsh reality but cleared the path to untouchable resilience. He has worked with a few theaters back home including; The San Diego Repertory Theater, San Diego Musical Theater/Conservatory, and UCSD Muir Musical. A few of his favorite roles are Marcus (Marcus: Or the Secret of Sweet), Pete (New Works: The Beach) and La Cienega (Bring It On).
