Hi.
Meet alt-rock's strangest storyteller. Armed with sugar-coated hooks and a penchant for breaking the fourth wall, Francy Planet has landed.
Based in London, Ontario—Planet soundtracks the heavy moments you feel you can't explain, with a precision that's both comic and brutal. His sound fuses 90s alt-rock charm with modern bubble grunge energy, delivering power chord therapy through clever self-awareness.
With production that sparkles like a Blockbuster membership card and choruses that hit like your favorite coming-of-age film, you'll hear echoes of Fountains of Wayne and Third Eye Blind getting cozy with modern acts like DURRY and Games We Play.
Debut single "Active Protagonist" arrived January 29th, 2025 - a polished pop-rock declaration for recovering background characters ready to rewrite their story. Packed with TV writer references and playful synthesizers, it's a reminder that every underdog gets their due.
2025 will see a steady stream of singles, culminating in something big this Fall.
Born François Goudreault to Francophone parents in Northern Ontario, Planet earned his nickname Francy after moving south as a kid. The 'Planet' part? "When you spend years trying not to take up space," he muses, "sometimes you need to shoot for something bigger than yourself." A lifelong person who stutters who finds freedom in melody, Planet discovered songwriting as a teenager and never looked back. "It was like finding a portal to a whole new world."
For many years, Planet fronted the award-winning Canadian synth-rock band Hello Kelly, appearing twice at Vans' Warped Tour and sharing stages with Switchfoot, Relient K and more. Following three releases for 7Spin Music (Sony BMG), the band released its farewell album Sweet Nostalgia in 2022 - garnering Planet "Producer/Engineer of the Year" at the Forest City London Music Awards.
