“I could never have been a blond bombshell like Electra Heart, nor could I have descended from another world like Ziggy Stardust. So, I wanted to create a persona that epitomises the average joe, our uninspired side, our human side and that is POSTERBOY.”
WHO IS POSTERBOY?
POSTERBOY is the alias of Scottish singer-songwriter and visual artist Rory Russell who is undoubtedly destined for a breakthrough year in 2021!
POSTERBOY’s music is informed primarily by 80’s new wave sounds, such as those of Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, Pet Shop Boys and Soft Cell, as well as more contemporary pop-pioneers like Björk, St. Vincent, Christine & the Queens, MARINA and Robyn. The lyrics also address prominent social themes, such as queer identity, homophobia, race and gender violence, and existential dread…
Born out of a sense of detachment from reality and an attempt to seek solace in the surreal, POSTERBOY is the moniker through which Rory’s exciting upcoming project will be released!
