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 also made a brief-yet-memorable appearance on 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 two years before leaving the program to further pursue her career. Her work with various producers lead to a publishing deal with Universal, where she has since written with artists including Flosstradamus. A collaboration titled “Don’t Trip,” was featured on Flosstradamus’ most recent 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 released her second album Grrrl.[8]
