Maisie Peters

Engrossed in the world of books, Maisie Peters originally wanted to be an author before realising she could turn her stories into songs. Having written her first track at just nine years old, she began honing her songwriting skills, crafting the blueprint for her honest, witty and wholly relatable diary-style songs. After teaching herself guitar, Maisie took to open mic nights and busking around West-Sussex, using the money to launch a YouTube channel. Over time, she began cultivating what is now one of the most dedicated fanbases in modern pop. Sparking a label bidding war whilst still in school, Maisie eventually signed to Atlantic Records in 2018 and released her debut EP, ‘Dressed Too Nice For A Jacket’, later that year.

In the years that have followed, Maisie has firmly established herself as one of the UK’s brightest new talents, racking up over a billion global streams and earning famous fans like Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers and Sam Smith, as well as launching her very own virtual book club, with guests including Annie Lord, Bolu Babalola and Elif Batuman. 2021 saw her sign to Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records, become one of the youngest musicians in history to write and curate a soundtrack for the second season of Apple TV+’s ‘Trying’ and follow in the footsteps of Billie Eilish and Megan Thee Stallion as an Apple Music Up Next artist. The year culminated with the release of her critically-acclaimed debut album, ‘You Signed Up For This’, which shot straight in to the Official Charts at No. 2. With her star continuing to ascend in 2022, Maisie went on to sell-out London’s Eventim Apollo in just an hour, play her second sold-out US headline tour and support Ed Sheeran on his mammoth UK/EU stadium tour.

2023 proved a landmark year, with Maisie selling out Wembley’s OVO Arena, making her Glastonbury Pyramid Stage debut, embarking on her second headline US tour and landing her first UK No. 1 album with ‘The Good Witch’, in turn becoming the youngest British female solo artist to claim a No. 1 album since 2014, as well as being the youngest artist to claim a No. 1 since Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’ in May 2021. Her 13-date nationwide ‘Road To Wembley’ tour began in October, with ‘The Good Witch Comes To Europe’ following in February 2024.

Whilst working on her third studio album, Maisie has supported the likes of Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Noah Kahan and Conan Grey. She was the recipient of The Breakthrough Award at the first Rolling Stone UK Awards and is included in this year's annual Sunday Times Young Power List.
