PEYTON

Houston-born artist and multi-instrumentalist Peyton joins Between the Bars to talk about the musical upbringing that shaped her sound, from gospel, jazz, and classical music to hip-hop and R&B.

We talk about growing up in a musical family, releasing music at a young age, learning to trust her instincts as an artist, and the collaborators who have helped her find more freedom in her creative process. Peyton also takes us inside the making of her latest album, AU, created alongside Shafiq Husayn and Om’Mas Keith, and the idea of “staying golden” through whatever life brings.

Plus, we get into Roots Picnic, the music inspiring her lately, what she’s been working on next, and why making music that genuinely feels like you matters more than fitting into any one box.
