Known for his critically acclaimed album "Kansas Anymore," released in July 2024, the artist previously worked closely with manager Danny Rukasin. This split comes as part of evolving dynamics within the music industry, where artists often seek new partnerships to further their careers.
Amidst the vibrant world of modern music, Role Model, whose Spotify following numbers around 6.5 million monthly listeners, is making waves. Represented by Wasserman for bookings, he recently concluded the North American leg of his No Place Like Tour on April 10th in Seattle. With upcoming festival appearances at Governor’s Ball and Bonnaroo, as well as opening for Abrams’ Secret of Us Deluxe Tour, his schedule remains packed. European tour dates are set to begin in November 2025 at London’s Eventim Apollo, extending through several major cities including Manchester, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Paris. Meanwhile, Best Friends Music Management continues its work with other notable talents such as Bishop Briggs and Mimi Webb.
From a journalistic perspective, this shift highlights how artists continually reassess their professional alliances to align better with their artistic visions. For fans, it signifies an exciting phase ahead, promising fresh sounds and experiences. The ever-changing landscape of the music business underscores the necessity for adaptability and strategic planning in sustaining long-term success.
