Early life[edit]

Peters was born and grew up in Steyning, West Sussex, England. She has a twin sister, Ellen.[2] At around age eight, she performed in a choir. She also tried to play the flute but was not successful.[3] She wrote her first song at age nine[4] and began writing songs regularly at the age of 12, after borrowing her friend's guitar for a school project.[5] She attended Steyning Grammar School, where she won in a talent show in March 2015. At age 15, she busked on the streets of Brighton and began uploading original songs to YouTube.[6]

Music career[edit]

Peters started her music career on The Ayala Show in 2016. Aged 15, she performed several self-written songs on the show.[7] A year later, Peters independently released her first two songs: "Place We Were Made" and "Birthday".[8] The songs gained attention in indie-pop circles and "Place We Were Made" was named BBC Introducing's song of the week early 2018.[4] Following this attention, Peters signed with Atlantic Records UK.[8] Under their banner, she released various singles and two EPs, Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket and It's Your Bed Babe, It's Your Funeral.[9][10][11] Both "Feels Like This" (of Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket) and "Favourite Ex" (released as a single) appeared on Love Island in 2019.[12]

In 2020, Peters contributed the song "Smile" to the soundtrack album Birds of Prey: The Album, for the film Birds of Prey.[13] She was also announced as the opening act for Niall Horan's Nice to Meet Ya Tour on tourdates in Europe.[14] However, these concerts were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Peters released work for another soundtrack in 2021, this time for the Apple TV+ original series Trying. She wrote and performed all songs, with a feature by fellow British recording artist James Bay on the song "Funeral".[15][16]

On the 15th of June 2021, Peters left Atlantic Records and signed with Ed Sheeran's Gingerbread Man Records.[17] Under this label, she released her debut albumYou Signed Up for This on 27 August 2021.[18] The album debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was the top selling album in UK independent record stores for that week.[19] With the first two singles of the record, "John Hughes Movie" and "Psycho", Peters garnered her first notations on the British charts.[20]

Peters embarked on her first headlining tour in 2022, touring the United States.[21] Later that year, she joined Sheeran's +–=÷x Tour as opening act.[22] While touring she released singles "Cate's Brother", "Blonde" and "Not Another Rockstar".[21][23][24] She cited various (pop) rock bands as influences in her new music.[21] Peters has announced she will tour the United Kingdom in April 2023.[23]
