The buzzing Interscope act had been represented by Danny Rukasin.
By Shirley Halperin, Ethan Millman
The buzzing Interscope act Role Model has parted ways with Best Friends Music Management, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The 27-year-old artist, who released his latest album, Kansas Anymore, in July 2024 to wide critical acclaim, had been represented by manager Danny Rukasin.
Best Friends, the company headed by Rukasin and Brandon Goodman, is management home to artists Bishop Briggs, Mimi Webb, Benee, Blake Rose, Mehro, Kid Sistr, Maris and Ren. Until recently, Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas were also on the roster, though the duo left at the end of March for Jason Owen’s Sandbox Entertainment. The co-managers played a key role in steering Eilish’s ascent from viral sensation to award-winning artist over a decade of working together.
