Disterbenz is the Americana project of singer-songwriter Gabrielle Sterbenz, a seasoned touring vocalist now stepping fully into the foreground. Her music pairs gospel-honed vocal power with jazz-inflected harmony and emotionally unguarded writing about the complicated truths inside relationships, identity, and American life. After performing across 49 states and internationally, she is bringing that experience into a solo career built around exceptional live performance, intricate harmony, and music that invites listeners to stop hiding the difficult parts of themselves.

October 30th, 2026, Disterbenz releases her full-length album entitled “Icky Guy.” The title is a play on the Japanese term “ikigai,” loosely translated to “the reason for which we get up in the morning.” Gabrielle went back to her hometown to record this album with Philip A. Jimenez, the co-producer of the anthemic classic “Teenage Dirtbag,” by Wheatus, a band Gabrielle is a longtime member of. 

To date, Gabrielle has performed her music in 49 US States, the UK and EU, Canada, and Australia, often opening for Wheatus, and then performing double-duty as one of the band’s backing vocalists. Gabrielle released her original song "Feels Like Christmas" on Wheatus' 2023 Sony-released Christmas EP; and penned the lyrics to a cheeky Christmas version of “Teenage Dirtbag.”
