Life and career

2000–2020: Early life and career beginnings

Maisie Hannah Peters was born on 28 May 2000 in Steyning, a small town in West Sussex, England to a geography teacher and communications worker, Nick and Diane Peters, respectively. She has a non-identical twin sister, Ellen, who has been featured on her YouTube channel and was the inspiration behind Peters' 2021 single \"Brooklyn\".\n

Peters began singing around age eight, performing in choirs. She wrote her first song at age nine and began writing songs regularly at the age of 12, after borrowing her friend's guitar for a school project. She attended Steyning Grammar School, where she won the 2015 annual talent show with a performance of her own composition \"Electric\". She was a part of the Ariel Company Theatre.\n

At age 15, she began busking on the streets of Brighton and uploading original songs to YouTube. At age 15 in 2016, Peters performed her first recorded show, performing several original songs on The Ayala Show. In August 2017, Peters independently released her debut single, \"Place We Were Made\". Four months later, she released her second single, \"Birthday\". The songs gained attention in indie-pop circles and \"Place We Were Made\" was named BBC Introducing's song of the week early 2018. Following this attention, Peters signed with Atlantic Records UK. Under Atlantic, she released various singles, notably \"Worst Of You\", as well as two EPs; Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket and It's Your Bed Babe, It's Your Funeral. \n

In 2020, Peters contributed the song \"Smile\" to the soundtrack album Birds of Prey, for the film of the same name. She was also announced as the opening act for Niall Horan's Nice to Meet Ya Tour on tour dates in Europe. However, these concerts were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peters released work for another soundtrack in 2021, this time for the second series of Apple TV+ original series Trying. She wrote and performed all songs, with features by fellow British recording artists James Bay on the song \"Funeral\", Griff on the song \"Happy Hunting Ground\", and Bear's Den on the song \"I Want You To Change (Because You Want To Change)\".

In June 2021, Peters signed with Ed Sheeran's vanity label Gingerbread Man Records, distributed by Atlantic Records. She released her debut studio album You Signed Up for This that August. The album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart and was the top selling album in UK independent record stores for that week. With the first two singles of the record, \"John Hughes Movie\" and \"Psycho\", Peters achieved her first entries on the UK Singles Chart.

On 27 January 2023, Peters released \"Body Better\", the lead single from her second album, calling it one of her \"most honest songs ever\". Following this, on 15 February 2023, Peters announced the release of her second album, The Good Witch, alongside its track listing, which was released on 23 June 2023, describing it as her own \"twisted version of a breakup album\". \"Lost the Breakup\" served as the second single from The Good Witch. With this album, Peters became the youngest solo British female artist in almost a decade to chart number one on the UK Charts, after Ella Henderson in 2014. She released a deluxe version on 27 October 2023, which included six additional tracks. Peters won the inaugural Rolling Stone UK Breakthrough Award in 2023. Peters made her film debut in the 2024 Amazon Prime romantic comedy How to Date Billy Walsh as herself. Peters opened for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium on 19 August 2024. Peters was set to support Kelsea Ballerini on her North American arena tour in 2025.
