About this artist
Combining punk attitude and pop hooks, Sizzy Rocket takes an unapologetically individualistic approach to her music, whether founding her own label or making brashly catchy, relatable songs like “Bestie” and albums 2016′s Thrills and 2019′s GRRRL.
While growing up in Las Vegas, singer/songwriter Sabrina Bernstein performed everywhere she could. After graduating high school, she studied at NYU’s Clive Davis School of Music, but eventually dropped out to make music on her own. In 2014, she released her debut single, “I Wanna Rob,” and her cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Girls” became a viral hit. The following year, she worked with Flosstradamus on “Don’t Trip,” which appeared on his EP with Run the Jewels, Need for Speed. Sizzy Rocket’s debut album Thrills appeared in 2016 and featured the single “Bestie,” which earned critical acclaim and became a viral hit.
That year, Sizzy Rocket also launched her label Diet Punk, which released music from Shiny Wet Machine, Bernstein’s side project with the Kickdrums’ Alex Fitts. Along with the singles “Still,” “Dope,” and “Amphetamine,” Bernstein released the mixtape Hot Summer via Diet Punk in 2017. In addition, she co-wrote “O.D.D.” with Hey Violet, which appeared on their debut album From the Outside, and helped pen Matoma and Noah Cyrus’ single “Slow.” Early in 2018, Sizzy Rocket issued the Mulholland EP. The following year, she issued her second album GRRRL, and after touring with chloe mk, collaborated with her on the single “I Know What U Like.” In April 2020, Sizzy Rocket returned with the track “Smells Like Sex.” ~ Heather Phares
