Rory Rockett is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter exploring new worlds with their imaginative folk-pop music. Hailing from Essex but now studying songwriting in London, their lyric-focused songs are informed by their queer experiences and love of fantasy and history. Artists like Aurora, Hozier, Joni Mitchell and The Last Dinner Party are at the forefront of their inspiration. Rory’s current music has evolved from stripped-back SoundCloud tracks and self-produced indie-pop, releasing their single “You (What Enemies Do)” independently in April 2024. 2025 is a year of new music for Rory Rockett, with multiple singles planned for the near future and their EP scheduled for an Autumn release.
