WHAT IT IS: Maine-born, L.A.-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Role Model, aka Tucker Pillsbury, first made waves in 2017 with indie singles and his debut EP, Arizona in the Summer. Receiving cosigns from Benny Blanco and the late Mac Miller, the rising star caught fire with follow-up projects oh, how perfect and our little angel, the latter housing the viral track “blind,” which has garnered 72m+ streams on Spotify alone. ROLE MODEL’s debut full-length album, Rx, which arrived on 4/8, celebrates the healing power of women and music while illuminating every side of himself. With his recent Coachella sets and a massive world tour ahead, ROLE MODEL is just getting started.
