Role Model — real name Tucker Pillsbury — is redefining modern pop with emotional, witty, and genre-bending songs. From viral TikToks to intimate live performances, he’s the rising star everyone’s talking about.
Born in Maine, Tucker studied film before injuries redirected his path. While recovering in his dorm, he started producing tracks — and Role Model was born. Early mixtapes like Since When and Moth led to his first breakthrough, Arizona in the Summer, catching Mac Miller’s attention.
From alt-pop beginnings to heartfelt acoustic storytelling, Role Model’s sound matured with Kansas Anymore (2024). Influenced by John Prine and Americana tones, the album blends sincerity and nostalgia — marking a major artistic leap.
His viral single “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” became a cultural phenomenon. During live shows, Role Model invites a fan or celebrity to dance as “Sally” — with guests like Olivia Rodrigo, Hilary Duff, and Natalie Portman joining the fun.
Emotional honesty — his heartbreak anthems feel real. 🎭 TikTok humor — his alter-ego @saintlaurentcowboy shows playful irony. 🎤 Authenticity — intimate shows and relatable lyrics make fans feel seen. He’s not just an artist — he’s a movement.
2025 marks a huge leap: Role Model will star in Good Sex, a Netflix romantic comedy by Lena Dunham, alongside Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo. He’s also set for his Saturday Night Live debut in October 2025.
New music, tours, and acting projects are on the horizon. With heartfelt storytelling, viral energy, and fearless reinvention — Role Model is shaping the future of pop.
