ROLE MODEL

About

Role Model, born Tucker Pillsbury, is the enigmatic indie-pop artist who has carved out a space as the voice of a generation caught between vulnerability and self-assurance. With a sound that blends dreamy synths, lo-fi beats, and introspective lyricism, Role Model’s music feels like a late-night conversation with a close friend—raw, unfiltered, and deeply relatable. Drawing influences from hip-hop, R&B, and alternative pop, his style is a mosaic of genres that defies easy categorization. Emerging from Portland, Maine, Role Model first gained traction with his 2018 EP *Arizona in the Summer*, a project that showcased his knack for crafting emotionally charged narratives. His breakout single, “blind,” became an anthem for millennials navigating love and self-doubt, solidifying his place in the indie-pop scene. Since then, he has released critically acclaimed projects like *our little angel* and *Rx*, further cementing his reputation as a storyteller unafraid to explore the complexities of modern relationships. Role Model’s cultural impact lies in his ability to balance introspection with a sense of humor, creating music that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. Collaborations with artists like BENEE and Alexander 23 have expanded his reach, while his live performances are celebrated for their intimate, confessional energy. Currently, Role Model continues to push boundaries, teasing new music that promises to delve even deeper into his artistic evolution.
