Maisie Peters

Maisie Hannah Peters was born on May 28, 2000, in Steyning, West Sussex, England. She began singing at age eight and started writing songs regularly at twelve after borrowing a friend’s guitar. In 2015, she won her school’s annual talent show with an original composition titled “Electric.” By age 15, she was busking in Brighton and uploading original songs to YouTube, performing her first recorded show on “The Ayala Show” in 2016. Her independent debut single, “Place We Were Made,” released in August 2017, garnered attention and was named BBC Introducing’s song of the week in early 2018, leading to her signing with Atlantic Records UK.

Under Atlantic Records, Peters released various singles, including “Worst Of You,” and two EPs: “Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket” and “It’s Your Bed Babe, It’s Your Funeral.” In 2020, she contributed the song “Smile” to the soundtrack for the film “Birds of Prey.” The following year, Peters wrote and performed all songs for the Apple TV+ series “Trying,” featuring James Bay on “Funeral.” A significant turning point occurred on June 15, 2021, when she signed with Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records.

Her debut studio album, “You Signed Up for This,” released on August 27, 2021, debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was the top-selling album in UK independent record stores. Her singles “John Hughes Movie” and “Psycho” marked her first entries on the UK Singles Chart. Peters embarked on her first headlining tour in the United States in 2022 and joined Ed Sheeran’s “+–=÷x Tour” as an opening act. Her second album, “The Good Witch,” released in June 2023, made her the youngest solo British female artist in nearly a decade to top the UK album charts. In October 2025, she became the face of Giorgio Armani’s “That’s So Armani” campaign, showcasing her expanding influence beyond music.
