IZZY REBEL

Newcastle’s own IZZY REBEL makes a bold and deeply human introduction with his debut single Dancing Through My Tears. Produced by Adrian Breakspear (GRAMMY-nominated, ARIA-winning producer known for his work with Gang of Youths and Pharrell Williams), the track strikes a rare balance between vulnerability and catharsis.

On the surface, it’s a bright and polished pop/rock anthem, carried by driving guitars, crisp percussion, and an undeniable hook. Yet beneath the sheen lies something far more raw: an exploration of mental health struggles and the destructive cycles people often fall into while searching for relief. Izzy’s lyrics cut close to the bone, but it’s his emotive delivery that gives the song its undeniable weight. His voice moves between aching sincerity and soaring defiance, capturing the complexity of finding release in the middle of pain.

What makes Dancing Through My Tears stand out as a debut is not just its sonic ambition but its honesty. Izzy Rebel isn’t chasing trends—he’s carving out a space for himself where storytelling, resilience, and empathy sit at the centre of the music. It’s a striking opening statement from an artist who clearly has both vision and heart, and it sets the stage for a career that promises depth as much as energy.

With Dancing Through My Tears, Izzy Rebel proves that dancing and healing can exist side by side—and that sometimes the most powerful anthems are born from the darkest nights.
