From an early age she displayed a passion for music and performance, eventually moving into the professional sphere as a backup vocalist and dancer for various prominent Latin artists, a foundation that honed her stage presence and vocal versatility. In December 2007 she launched her recording career with the debut album Por El Amor, which featured three singles—"Cuando No Estas," "Quien Dijo Amigos," and "Dime"—showcasing a blend of contemporary Latin pop and heartfelt balladry.

In 2011 she issued the single "La Vida Es Bella" alongside Chino y Nacho and her family, a project that celebrated her personal roots and cultural heritage. More recently, Ana Isabelle reached an international cinematic milestone by portraying Rosalia in Steven Spielberg’s 2021 remake of West Side Story, a role that underscored her evolution from regional star to global performer.
