BASE PROFILE| SIZZY ROCKET
Posted by Justin | Filed under Base Profile, Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music
Describing Sizzy Rocket is a bit of task. She’s kind of like a ball confusion that somehow makes sense. Its like Gaga, Ke$ha and Elton John had a glitter filled threesome while Jack White watched in a corner. Weird, right? Currently a freshman in NYU’s Clive Davis Department Of Recorded Music, the Las Vegas native [...]

What I’m about say may be considered sacrilegious amongst music critics and fans alike, so hear goes: I didn’t think Marvin Gaye’s voice was all that. Now, I know you’ve clutched your invisible pearls and took a step back with a shocked look on your face but forgive me I was naive. I finally saw [...]
