A stretch for classic Shaky, but the modern audience overlap makes it at least discussable.

Artist Bio

Role Model is associated with Maine, United States and began releasing music under the name Role Model in the late 2010s. The project is known for confessional indie pop and singer-songwriter material focused on relationships, anxiety, and young adulthood. the album Rx expanded his profile in 2022, and Kansas Anymore in 2024 moved toward a warmer folk-pop sound while his touring audience continued to grow. That combination of a distinctive catalog, recognizable musical identity, and established live presence is why Role Model remains relevant in conversations about major alternative and festival bookings.
