Izzi De-Rosa

If you’re a fan of early 2000s pop, chances are you will love Izzi De Rosa. The self-confessed “sasspot” and “brat” is one to watch, throwing back to a uniquely British sound of pop. Dubbed “Brat Pop” by Izzi, her sound favours the Y2K era-defining aesthetic. Think bright pink velour tracksuits, Bratz, Freaky Friday, and the likes of Brad Pitt, the Sugababes, Destiny’s Child, and Christina Aguilera at events like the GRAMMYs, radiating an aura of effortless coolness.

The North London native studied Philosophy at the University of Leeds, before scrambling to transition to music after two weeks on a masters course, where she became deeply embedded in the Leeds music scene as part of a collective of artists. Relocating back home when the pandemic struck, she began to find her voice, her sound, and define her aesthetic. Her debut track “Love & Roulette” landed after a clip of her showing the song to her crush – in which he is the subject of a verse
– went viral on TikTok.
