Maisie Peters emerged from West Sussex and grew up fostering her creative passions in Brighton, England. This English musician and singer-songwriter embarked on a journey that is every bit as lyrical as her songs, beginning her career by pouring originality into her YouTube channel. Her music, self-described as 'emo girl pop', resonates with the heartfelt authenticity and emotional storytelling reminiscent of indie anthems. Her debut single, 'Place We Were Made', was a nostalgia-laden narrative that set the stage for what was to become a discography characterised by introspective lyricism and captivating melodies.
The trajectory of Maisie's career took a soaring leap with the release of singles like 'Birthday', 'Worst of You', and 'Best I’ll Ever Sing'. These tracks were the prelude to her debut EP, 'Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket', a collection that showcased her profound knack for blending poetic dialogue with pop sensibility, all under the aegis of Atlantic Records UK. The EP, featuring standout tracks 'In My Head' and 'Details', solidified her position as a formidable talent in the music industry, weaving stories of love, loss, and youth with eloquence beyond her years.
2019 saw Maisie's artistry evolve with the release of singles 'Stay Young' and 'Favourite Ex', an overture to her second EP, 'It’s Your Bed Babe, It’s Your Funeral'. Her music, while deeply personal, tapped into the universal, a fact underscored by her single 'Smile' earning a spot on the 'Birds of Prey' film album. This milestone was quickly followed by an announcement that would see her sharing stages with Niall Horan as a supporting act on his tour, an opportunity that amplified her music to a wider, global audience.
Maisie Peters' journey didn't slow down; her creativity continued to flourish. She gifted her listeners with singles like 'Daydreams', 'The List', 'Sad Girl Summer', and the collaborative 'Maybe Don’t' with JP Saxe. However, it was the ‘John Hughes Movie’ that marked a significant moment in her career, becoming her first single to make waves in both the UK and New Zealand charts. With its poignant homage to '80s teen movies, the song is emblematic of Maisie's ability to intersect cultural references with deeply personal storytelling, affirming her as not just a musician, but a storyteller of her generation.
