American pop singer and songwriter who began to make waves in the music industry with the release of his 2017 EP Arizona In The Summer. 2019 marked his first performance at the Lollapalooza music festival. He has since released three EPs, one studio album, and a series of singles.
He intended on pursuing a career in film prior to becoming a musician. A skiing and skating accident drew Pillsbury into a depression, which stunted his desire to make music.
As a child, he was heavily inspired by Elvis Presley and would perform for his family while dressed as him. Throughout high school, he took an interest in film, and in 2016, he moved to Pittsburgh to major in film at Point Park University. During his freshman year, he broke his wrist due to a skiing accident at Sugarloaf Mountain and later broke his wrist again due to a skateboarding accident. While he was stuck in his dorm, two of his friends left music equipment in his dorm, prompting him to record several rap mixtapes while learning how to use Logic Pro. He soon dropped out of college after his grades started to fall.
ROLE MODEL began rapping in 2016 under the mononym Tucker, and released his debut mixtape, Since When. He soon changed his stage name to DILLIS, and self-released his debut album "Moth" in June 2016. That same month, he performed at a show at the Maine State Pier, and he later performed as an opener for Lil Debbie during her 2016 U.S. tour.
In early 2017, he changed his stage name to ROLE MODEL and switched from rapping to singing. He self-released his debut EP, ARIZONA IN THE SUMMER, in December 2017 after recording it in his closet, which earned him a following online. After hearing the EP, rapper Mac Miller invited ROLE MODEL to Los Angeles for the two to work together. He was signed to Interscope Records in 2018. A music video for his song "play the part" was released in November 2018. His single "minimal" was released in May 2019 along with a music video. He was featured on the song "Fucked Up, Kinda" from Julia Michaels's EP, Inner Monologue Part 2, released in June 2019.
He released the music video for his single, "hello!" in October 2019. In November 2019, he released his second EP, oh, how perfect, in November 2019 through Interscope Records and Polydor Records. His first headlining tour, the 'Far from Perfect' Tour, took place in late 2019.
In February 2020, he released an acoustic version of his song "notice me". He released his third EP, our little angel, in October 2020 through Polydor and Interscope Records. A music video for his song "blind" was released in October 2020. In July 2021, he released the single "forever&more", and in September 2021, he released the single "death wish".
On February 18, 2022, he released the single "if jesus saves, she's my type" alongside its music video. The same day, Role Model also announced the title, the tracklist, and the official release date of his debut album. In March 2022, he released the album's third single "neverletyougo" with a music video. His debut album, Rx, was released on April 8, 2022. The music video for "Rx", the title track, was released on April 9, 2022. He would soon embark on his 'TOURx' 2022 world tour.
On August 25, 2022, he released the single "cross your mind" alongside an official music video. He released another single "a little more time" on February 17, 2023, with a music video shot and directed by his girlfriend Emma Chamberlain.
ROLE MODEL took his name from Paul Rudd's character in the 2008 film "Role Models". He often plays acoustic guitar in his songs, and his music has been described as pop and bedroom pop. He has called Mac Miller an inspiration of his due to his influence on the city of Pittsburgh, and called meeting him "the most pivotal moment in his life". Critics have described his lyrics, which discuss topics such as sex, mental health, and relationships, as "relatable" and "confessional". Throughout his career, Pillsbury has been very open about mental health issues and his own depression.
He was signed to Benny Blanco's Mad Love Records label. He is close friends with fellow artist Omar Apollo. As of 2019, he is based in Hollywood. He is in a relationship with American social media influencer and model Emma Chamberlain.

Role Model Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kiss her face, fuck all night
An atheist who knows defeat
Who needs her lips between his teeth
If Jesus saves, then she's my type
If she's real
She'd wear heels
If I die, know she's takin' the wheel
If she's real
If Jesus saves, then hook me up
We'll go on dates and fall in love
She'll hold my head, she'll get on top
Kiss my neck, the pain would stop
If Jesus saves, then hook me up
If she's real
She'd wear heels
She'd be mine all the time
If I die, know she's takin' the wheel
If she's real
And she'd have me walkin' down the street, singin' like this, like
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
And then she'd join in and we'd start singin' together, like
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
I've been livin' on my lonely, goin' off the rails
I need someone who can hold me like the fairytales
Lovin' her would be so easy, wonder how she feels
She can tell me when she needs me
If she's real (if she's really real, oh)
She'd wear heels (she'd be wearin' heels, oh, oh)
She'd be mine all the time
If I die, know she's takin' the wheel
If she's real
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do-do

The song "If Jesus Saves She's My Type" by Role Model is a heartfelt tribute to someone who the singer believes is his perfect match. The lyrics are emotional and intimate, with the singer sharing his desire for a relationship based on mutual love and understanding. The central theme of the song revolves around the idea that if Jesus saves, then the woman described in the song is the singer's type.
The lyrics describe the singer's ideal woman as being both beautiful and independent. She's an atheist who has been defeated in some way and needs comfort, which he can provide. The singer believes that if he finds someone that fits this description, his life would be complete. The lyrics also express a desire for physical intimacy, with the singer wanting to kiss and have sex with his ideal woman.
In some ways, the song seems to elevate the qualities of the singer's ideal woman to metaphysical levels. He sees her as someone who can save him, as well as someone who can take the wheel if he dies. This suggests that the singer is looking for something deeper than just a physical relationship.

for some people confused about this song, he explained in an article from DORK:
“As much as I love being alone, I think even the strongest people have a breaking point. I spent years completely alone and got to a point where I needed help, which later came in the form of a girl, who I fell in love with. This song is that stage of desperation that I felt could be compared to the way some people find God. When you’re on your knees just begging for something or someONE. It sets up the album perfectly.”
take it as you like it.
