Peyton
Peyton specializes in progressive R&B that's intimate and offbeat yet always melodious. The singer and songwriter started in the mid-2010s with a series of independent releases. Among them was "Sweet Honey" (2016), a trippy love ballad that was heard in an episode of Insecure and led to a deal with Stones Throw. Since making her label debut with the Reach Out EP (2019), the Houston native has put together her first proper album, PSA (2021).
A lifelong Texan, Peyton Booker was born in Missouri City and raised in Houston. She started singing and playing violin as a youngster, and was strongly encouraged by her family, including grandmother Theola Booker, a long-serving minister of music who composed and arranged material for James Cleveland and taught Beyoncé to play piano. In her early teens, Peyton countered social anxiety by writing and performing her own material, and soon thereafter began to record and release it. Near the end of 2015, she issued Roller Coaster, an EP featuring a bassline from the Internet's Steve Lacy (on "Tell Me"), with production handled by Chase of Nazareth, Bobby Earth, Brandon Willis, and Peyton herself. The ten-track Peace in the Midst of a Storm, and supplemental singles including "Sweet Honey," were offered over the next few years. "Sweet Honey" and "Lifeline" (the latter off Peace in the Midst of a Storm) appeared in episodes of Insecure's third season in 2018. The next year, Peyton signed with the Stones Throw label and released Reach Out, a six-track EP. After a couple intermediary singles in 2020 -- including "Verbs," another Steve Lacy collaboration -- Peyton completed her first proper album, and in 2021 released it under the title PSA. At that point, she had also racked up numerous credits as a featured artist, most notably on James Francies' Blue Note album Purest Form.
