Phil Rxcket

**Phil Rxcket** (born Phil Racicot) is a Montreal-based indie pop artist who’s been blending moody synth textures, sticky hooks, and sardonic romanticism into his music since emerging in the late 2010s. Known for his DIY approach, Rxcket writes, produces, and performs his own genre-blurring tracks, mixing ’80s new wave nostalgia with modern bedroom-pop vulnerability. His breakout 2020 single “Crazy” (and its French-language counterpart) became a sleeper hit, cementing his reputation for crafting songs that pair danceable beats with lyrics about messy relationships and quarter-life crises.

With releases like “Fabulous,” “Evil Girls,” and “Happier (with somebody else),” Rxcket leans into themes of love, regret, and self-sabotage, often wrapping his bittersweet observations in glittering synths and wiry guitar lines. His work nods to acts like The 1975 and Phoenix while maintaining a scrappy, lo-fi charm. Though he keeps a relatively low profile, Rxcket’s collaborations with artists like Lolo Zouaï and his knack for viral-ready choruses have steadily grown his fanbase, positioning him as Canada’s hidden gem of angst-ridden pop.
