Background and career
Rolf Jacob Sartorius (born October 2, 2002) is an American social media personality and singer. He rose to fame via social media after posting lip-syncing videos on short-form video application Musical.ly. In 2016, he began releasing music with his debut single "Sweatshirt", which, along with his second single "Hit or Miss", charted on the Hot 100 in the United States and in Canada.
Sartorius was born on October 2, 2002, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Shortly after his birth, he was adopted and moved to Virginia because his birth parents were unable to take care of him. He was raised in Reston, Virginia, by his adoptive parents. At age seven, he began acting in musicals, where he discovered his love for performing. His lip-syncing videos on Vine acquired more than 8 million followers as of August 2016 before Vine shut down in 2017. He said social media offered him an escape from bullying, adding, "Before Musical.ly, I wasn't the most outgoing. The app helped me goof off. It's like no one is watching besides the camera." In 2018, Sartorius was in a relationship with Millie Bobby Brown. Sartorius's debut single "Sweatshirt" was released on May 3, 2016, and peaked at No. 90 on the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2016, he undertook the All My Friends Tour, a solo mini-tour where he performed in six cities. Three months later, he announced The Last Text World Tour, on which he performed in seven countries in 2017 in support of his debut extended play The Last Text, which was released on January 20, 2017. In March 2018, he attended the Los Angeles March for Our Lives protest and spoke at the event. After the tour, he released two more singles, "Hit or Miss" and "All My Friends". "Hit or Miss" debuted at No. 72 in the U.S. and is his highest-charting single to date. In 2016, Google announced he was the ninth-most-searched musical artist of the year. On November 1, 2018, Sartorius released his EP Better with You.
