Your exclusive look at Isac Elliot's fun-filled summer vacation

Isac Elliot is a lot of things: Talented, stylish, *totally* cute...the list could go on. One of the things Isac isn't? Lazy. The 15-year-old pop singer from Finland has spent his summer vacation—or holiday, as they call it in Scandinavia—doing almost anything but vacationing. Between playing countless summer festivals and logging hours in the recording studio, he's doing the opposite of what any teenager wants to do during the summer: work.

But, hey, it's workin' for him. Isac's sound is everything right with pop and EDM right now (think Justin Bieber, but with a delectable accent—*swoon*) and his lyrics are catchier than "Call Me Maybe." You've probably heard his song "Lipstick," feat. Tyga or his summer EP A Little More. It's his third album, though, that fans have been dying to get their hands on—and something Isac promised to them quite a while ago.

"We’ve been working on an album for over two years now, which is a long time," Isac admits. "I kind of promised to release the album for the summer gigs, but..."

...but, unfortunately, it didn't happen. Fear not, ladies, for Isac says that the album is actually-for-sure-definitely-absolutely coming this fall and will showcase his distinct sound: "Pop with a bit of urban flavor." Listen to his latest single "What About Me" below for a taste of what this cutie is capable of.

Isac has been killin' it in his home country of Finland for years now. There, life pretty much comes to a screeching halt in the summer. Essentially, the country shuts down for the month of July while everyone (well, everyone but Isac) takes time off to unwind and enjoy the holiday. If you thought the U.S. took summer seriously, Finland puts us to shame. 

We caught up with Isac recently where he exclusively filled us in on every unforgettable moment from his past few months. Peep the pics below!

    "This is at an airport's parking lot in Stavanger, Norway. A lot of fans turned up. Tried to hug as many as I could. Love my fans with all my heart!"

    "At my show in Tampere, Finland I got a huge plaque for gold, platinum and triple platinum for several singles and my second album. I was super surprised."

    "I have always been into boats. This is at our summer house where I am taking my first ever boat out for a spin. I have outgrown it a bit, size wise!"

    "I had two weeks off from everything, so I went to my friend’s summer cabin for a few days. No electricity, no running water—just chillin'. I don’t really have a lot of free time so that was very nice staying with him."

    "Here I am at Weekend Festival in Helsinki, [Finland] doing a joint song together with my friends from the DJ duo Tungevaag & Raaban."

    "Summer is very busy for me and for artists over here 'cause we’re doing a lot of shows in the summer, like festivals. I think we have 100 festivals or something like that!

    This snap is from my performance in Oslo, Norway at the VG Lista festival that 90,000 people attended. This is where I played my newest single “What About Me” live for the first time."

    "I had three shows in one day. To get from Finland to Estonia I was supposed to take a small helicopter, but the clouds were too low so they could not take off—so speedboat it was!"

    "Off to the studio to do vocals on a song called 'The Lighter'."

    "Finally, this pic is taken at [my family's] summer cabin. This is what it looks like in Finland during summer at midnight. The sun never really sets in the summer and in the winter, we have a period when the sun never really rises."
