About

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…
