ROLE MODEL

ROLE MODEL is the alias of Tucker Pillsbury, a singer/songwriter whose processing of complex emotions is belied by his restrained vocals and preference for easygoing and often strummy pop. Within a year of self-releasing his first EP, he landed a deal with Interscope through Benny Blanco's Mad Love. His major-label affiliation has yielded the EPs Oh, How Perfect (2019) and Our Little Angel (2020), as well as his love-struck first proper album, Rx (2022). After a pair of stand-alone singles, he issued a follow-up album, 2024's Kansas Anymore. "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out," from the album's deluxe version, reached number one on the Billboard AAA chart in 2025. "High Hopes 3000," from ROLE MODEL's 2026 album Chuck Timely & the Hourglass, fared even better, reaching the Billboard Hot 100.
