Brittany Alexandria Sheets, professionally recognized as Mars Argo, is an American artist encompassing roles as a singer, songwriter, actress, and digital content creator.

Sheets first attracted attention through her dramatized stage character on YouTube and as the frontwoman of the indie rock group Mars Argo. The band’s only full-length album, Technology Is a Dead Bird, was launched in 2009, followed by two extended plays released in 2010 and 2011. Plans for a television series and a follow-up album were revealed in 2013 but were ultimately discontinued.

In addition to her musical endeavors, Sheets co-wrote, co-produced, and directed material for her YouTube channel grocerybagdottv (which was rebranded as shouldicleanmyroom in 2022), initially managed alongside her former collaborator Titanic Sinclair. The channel specialized in satirical critiques of societal trends and online culture. After their split in 2014, most videos were deleted except for three significant music videos.

In 2022, Sheets began her solo career with the release of the single "Angry," followed by "I Can Only Be Me" in March 2023. On June 24, 2024, she introduced the I Can Only Be Me EP, which included the new track "Lick It Like A Kitten."

Early life

Born in Saginaw, Michigan, Brittany Alexandria Sheets developed her musical skills early by playing piano and singing in church choirs. Her mother discouraged video gaming to prioritize academic focus. Prior to initiating the grocerybagdottv YouTube project, Sheets was enrolled as a biology student at university.

2009–2011: Early career, Technology Is a Dead Bird, and Computer Show

Sheets met Corey Michael Mixter (also known as Titanic Sinclair) through Myspace, collaborating on appearances for the YouTube channel digitalfuntown. Together they formed the alternative pop act Mars Argo and co-managed the YouTube channel Grocerybagdottv, which featured music releases and social commentary videos originally titled Video Blog, later renamed Computer Show. Their 2014 episode "Delete Your Facebook," which satirized social media habits, attracted considerable attention. Their most popular single, "Using You," has amassed over 25 million views on its music video.

Mars Argo’s debut album, Technology Is a Dead Bird, was released on November 6, 2009. This was followed by the acoustic EP Internet Sessions in 2010 and another EP titled Linden Place in 2011. Work on a second album commenced with Chicago-based producer Johnny K, but after multiple delays, the project was ultimately abandoned.

2015–2019: Dissolution of Mars Argo

Following their relocation to Los Angeles in 2012, Sheets and Mixter completed remaining content for their YouTube channel prior to ending their romantic relationship in 2014. The band performed at the South by Southwest festival held in Austin, Texas before entering an indefinite hiatus. They briefly reunited in December 2014 but officially disbanded by March 2015. In a lawsuit filed in 2018, Sheets cited verbal abuse and physical violence from Mixter as factors leading to the group’s breakup.

Sheets resurfaced publicly in April 2018 to explain her hiatus and assured fans that new music was forthcoming.

2020–present: Dinner in America, solo releases, and upcoming projects

Sheets portrayed the character Sissy in Dinner in America, a film shot in Detroit, Michigan, which debuted at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. On April 25, 2022, she unveiled her first solo single "Angry" across streaming services via her rebranded channel shouldicleanmyroom.

On November 13, 2023, Sheets reissued "Using You" on Spotify, marking over nine years since its original debut. This release features the original studio track with all backing vocals by Sinclair removed.

Litigation involving Sinclair and Poppy

On April 17, 2018, Sheets initiated a 44-page legal complaint against Corey Mixter and his former collaborator Poppy (Moriah Rose Pereira), accusing them of copyright violations, stalking, as well as emotional and physical mistreatment by Mixter. That same day, Sheets acknowledged the lawsuit on social media, expressing gratitude to supporters and confirming plans for new musical projects. On May 7, Poppy publicly dismissed the lawsuit as "frivolous," accusing Sheets of psychological manipulation and characterizing the legal action as a "publicity stunt" and a "desperate attempt for recognition."

The case was resolved through an out-of-court agreement and dismissed on September 14. As part of the settlement, Mixter and Pereira consented to avoid any contact with Sheets, who obtained full ownership rights to the Mars Argo brand and music. Pereira later ended her association with Mixter in December 2019, citing his "manipulative behavior," although she did not retract her earlier denial of his control over her. All parties agreed to restrict communication solely through their attorneys.
