Biography

Daniel Pitout (born January 6, 1988), known professionally as Orville Peck, is a South African country musician based in the United States and Canada — and widely known for often wearing a mask and not showing his face publicly. He released his debut album, Pony, in 2019, followed by the EP Show Pony the next year. His second studio album, Bronco, was released in 2022. After a self-imposed hiatus in 2023, Peck released his third studio album, Stampede, in 2024. W Magazine said that his voice is a "deep, calm bass-baritone that recalls the bygone era of Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison; the (his) haunting guitar riffs drift between rockabilly, blues, and dreamy shoegazing distortions.
