Biography

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Peyton McMahon is a singer/songwriter ready to take the world by storm. His powerful vocals are a fitting vessel for the emotional songs he writes about his life experiences facing anxiety, insecurities, loneliness and more. With relatable lyrics, his music packs a punch of memorable hooks weaving through the thread of the Pop, Indie Alternative, Rock, and Singer/Songwriter influences he has grown up listening to; from classic artists like Jeff Buckley to contemporaries like Taylor Swift, Hozier, James Bay & The 1975. Whether he's giving soft, vulnerable confessionals or an energy charged banger, the humanity in Peyton's music is sure to resonate. Peyton got his start posting on YouTube, where he started a following and earned acclaim from artists like OneRepublic, James Bay, and Kelly Clarkson (who invited him to perform on her tour) amongst others. He recently began a new chapter of music releases and has gained support from numerous curators, tastemakers, and other artists (he was recently invited by one of his influences, Dermot Kennedy, to be an opening act) as an artist to watch. The ultimate goal for Peyton is to reach people through his music, and to help others the way music has helped him. "I want people to feel a sense of humanity and relatability when listening to my music. I want them to feel less alone in what they’re going through, whether it’s a tough moment or a brighter one", he says.
