Australian-born Lebanese artist Sabah, previously known by the moniker Suzie, is making waves with her debut single, Bombs Away (Last Time I Saw You), a punk cover of Nicki Minaj‘s iconic track. The release marks a significant moment in Sabah’s musical journey, as she returns to her birth name, embracing her uniqueness and ethnicity.
Sabah, whose name means Morning and Promise in Arabic, recounts facing adversity in high school due to her ethnic name and love for punk and metal music. After adopting the name Suzie at the age of 10, she now proudly reintroduces herself as Sabah, emphasizing the higher purpose it serves in her life.
A self-proclaimed “punk rock Barbie,” Sabah blends elements of Barbie, Bratz, and punk to create a distinctive style inspired by the 90s and 00s. With a background in music and media communication, she has a deep passion for the punk and metal genres, drawing influence from bands like Good Charlotte, Paramore, The Used, MCR, Slipknot, Bring Me the Horizon, Parkway Drive, and The Amity Affliction.
