Born In
Blenheim, Marlboro County, South Carolina, United States
NZ's biggest campy Popstar 'Hybrid Rose' (The Orchard/Sony) has been making waves in the underground music scene with her loveable nostalgic style. Her playful bubblegum pop aesthetic creates a distinctive frequency that cultivates cantankerous textures and sugar-high bubblegum debauchery. Hybrid takes influence from Charli XCX, Aqua and Spice Girls.
In 2016, she debuted her first single, 'Video Games', which would go on to achieve success on TikTok with 50+ million views from being used in 15,000+ TikToks to date.
Her follow-up ‘Plaztique’, a collaboration with Dan Konopka from the Grammy Award-winning band ‘OK Go’, was licensed for Season 3 of Māori television show “Ahikāroa”.
After 5 years of a synth-pop reign, Hybrid Rose rebranded herself as a pop star, with a high-femme and campy flair. Her first single ‘Dial Tone’, was released on February 18th. ‘Dial Tone’ topped the SRN radio charts, spent 4 weeks in the top 10, and debuted at #17 on the Official Hot NZ Singles Chart.
In 2023, she reached her final pop evolution, which is darker, edgier and more true to her raw creative expression. With her 6th studio on the way and recently signing with Unstable Records, Hybrid Rose is about to take the world by storm.
