Artist Profile: Peachy Pyron

Enjoying the Process

By Tina Morris

Peachy Pyrons debut album, Worth the Burn. was released when she was only fourteen years old and included several self-penned tracks. At that time, her music decidedly fell into the country music genre. As she matured, her sound transformed to an eclectic mix of indie singer/songwriter with a bluesy tone and an acoustic style. Whichever genre, Peachy has a soulful voice that can mesmerize the listener.

Her creativity has always been evident. As a toddler, she asked her parents to call her Peachy. In that moment, a star was born. It is this type of unwavering support from her parents that cultivated the creativity that has shaped Peachy into the young woman she is today.

She first picked up the guitar at eight years old, but according to Peachy, she didnt immediately fall in love with it. After a few years and a change in instructors, as her song titled In Love with My Guitar suggests, she was re-inspired. At the age of twelve, Peachy began playing, singing and performing shows.

Artists such as Chris Stapleton and Ray LaMontane greatly influence Peachy as she continues to create her own sound and image. She appreciates Stapletons ability to cross genres. She first heard LaMontane on a road trip with her family and was captivated by his sound. The rental car the family was using happened to be tuned to the Coffeehouse Radio station. Since that day, Peachy has attended four of Ray LaMotanes concerts and considers him one of her biggest musical influences.

From playing the guitar and singing to song writing and performing, Peachy enjoys all aspects of the craft. Over the years, she has taken several trips to Nashville to co-write music. While she has not recorded anything lately, at age seventeen, Peachy is busy taking college courses while finishing high school and working. With all that she has going on, she wishes she had more time to write and play. Peachy still finds the time to perform, most recently playing shows at Madlife Stage and Studios in Woodstock. She enjoys giving her audience new music at every show.

The creative process is important to her, though its always different. Sometimes, a billboard inspires her; other times, it may start with a line, title, hook or melody. Peachy calls music her outlet and finds the process of writing and playing a healing one. Even though she is young, she is poised beyond her years. Her advice to artists just starting out? Always stay inspired.  This is what allows the creative process to keep moving forward.
