Sabrina Louise Bernstein, better known by her stage name Sizzy Rocket, is an American musician, singer, and songwriter.[1] In 2016, she released her debut album, Thrills, and toured the record nationwide as direct support for Kitten.[2] In the same year she started her first independent record label Diet Punk Records, now Lost Chrrry Records. On this new label, Rocket collaborated with The KickDrums to create a punk rock band called Shiny Wet Machine.[3]

Rocket was raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and knew that she wanted to be a performer from the age of 7. In high school, she threw herself into her studies and ultimately graduated the valedictorian of her class at Las Vegas Academy.[4] While living in Las Vegas, she performed at the city's Bite of LV Festival, House of Blues, and opened for Imagine Dragons. She was also a semi-finalist on the NBC reality television show America's Got Talent.[5]

After finishing high school, Rocket moved to New York to attend New York University's Clive Davis School of Music. She attended for three years before leaving the program to further pursue her career. Her work with various producers lead to a publishing deal with Universal Music Group, where she has since written with artists including Noah Cyrus, Uffie, and Flosstradamus. A collaboration titled "Don't Trip", was featured on Flosstradamus’ EP Soundclash with Run The Jewels.[6] In 2016 she released her debut full-length album Thrills via independent record label Yebo Music. The lead single, "Bestie" received polarizing press, with PAPER Magazine calling it a “biting girl-on-girl anthem".[7]

On June 14, 2019, Rocket independently released her second album Grrrl.[8] The album was supported by a self-booked tour with TV star Chloe Kohanski.

On September 25, 2020, Rocket released her third album ANARCHY.[9] On December 15, 2020, she performed hit tracks from the album, including Spill My Guts and Smells Like Sex during a live-streamed concert entitled "ANARCHY: Come To Life" presented in collaboration with Moment House.[10] In January 2022, the voyeuristic music video for single Smells Like Sex was awarded by Playboy and featured in their first ever NFT Exhibition, The Art of Gender and Sexuality.[11]

On March 26, 2021, Rocket released The Bitch EP, which included collaborations with UPSAHL and Mothica.[citation needed]

On November 11, 2022, Rocket released Live Laugh Love, an independent mixtape featuring collaborations with super producer Fernando Garibay and VINCINT. On October 13th, 2023, Rocket released RAT,[12] a 7-track EP of "club rat bangers" accompanied by artwork shot by Joseph Cultice and 2 self-edited music videos.
