Peyton is a Houston-based R&B singer/songwriter. Her first record on Stones Throw is Reach Out, a callback to R&B icons of the past. Inspired by her late grandmother Theola Booker, who was known for her Grammy nominated compositions and arrangements for Reverend James Cleveland, Peyton’s career in music was inevitable. Despite her upbringing during the internet age, it’s not hard to hear the influence of R&B legends like Erykah Badu, Prince, and Amel Larrieux, sonically woven into her new EP.
At just 22 years old, Peyton is wasting no time carving out a space for herself in the music scene. Her collaboration on “Verbs” with Steve Lacy from The Internet, opening shows for The Internet and SALES, and featuring on the soundtrack for HBO’s Insecure are just the beginning for the up and coming artist.
