Born Peter Martin, reared in Chicago and well on his way to a Hall of Fame career based on é"More to Life Than Baseballé" alone, the L.A.-based singer-songwriter has been ridiculously prolific since signing to Terrible Records (home to Miya Folick, Alaska Reid, Kirin J Callinan, the Voidz and Luke Wild, among others) in 2019. After some pre-pandemic dates supporting the Voidz and Joyce Manor, Petey took to TikTok to spread the gospel of his music, and his humor served him well, as heé's piled up the followers. é"The music and the comedy are all wrapped up together as part of the same thing for me,é" he says. é"Someone told me that a great way to create something original is to combine all of your favorite things and then fill in the gaps with your own personality. When I sing, I want to sing like Isaac Brock from Modest Mouse. When I play guitar, I want to play guitar like Chris Walla from Death Cab For Cutie. When I produce synth parts, I want to produce synth parts like Kanye West. And when I play drums, I want to play drums like Travis Barker from Blink-182. All those approaches get combined with my own story in my songs.é"
