Rickie Wang gently pushes the boundaries with his upbeat new single and animated video for Troublemaker — premiering exclusively on Tinnitist.
The debut release from the young Vancouver singer-songwriter is a fun, piano-driven anthem about being a kid and bending a few rules. In the vibrant, imaginative video, Rickie is a risk-taker — just as he is real life. Rickie refuses to live inside a “safe box.” He believes that bold, free-spirited living isn’t just OK, it’s fun. This track features some wild harmonies and high energy, and calls to all the misfits out there.
“Sometimes, you’ve got to make a little trouble to figure out who you are,” says Rickie. “I didn’t write this song to break rules — I wrote it to break limits.”
Rickie is a 12-year-old singer-songwriter and actor who’s turning growing up into something you can sing along to. Blending pop, R&B, and a storyteller’s instinct, his music channels the emotional rollercoaster of youth — raw, fearless, curious, and full of heart. With a background in TV, film, and award-winning theatre, Rickie brings real emotional weight to every lyric, delivering songs that feel like snapshots of his own coming-of-age journey.
His debut tracks dive into the messy, magical parts of being a kid — pushing back against expectations, dancing through uncertainty, chasing moments of joy, and finding safety in unexpected places. Whether he’s questioning the rules or just soaking in a rare moment of calm, there’s always a sense of movement and meaning behind his words. Rickie is capturing what it means to be young right now. Through his music, he’s building a space for his generation to feel seen, heard, and understood. It’s honest, it’s bold, and it’s just the beginning.
