Orville Peck in the Q studio in Toronto.
The masked country singer has been steadily on the rise since the release of his debut album, Pony, in 2019. With the release of his latest album, Stampede, Peck sits down with Q’s Tom Power to look back on his start in country music.With his deep baritone voice and high-camp take on cowboy culture, Orville Peck has been steadily on the rise since the release of his debut album,"It took a long time for me to build that confidence because I felt so outside of it," he says.
In his early 20s, Peck started to find a sense of freedom and belonging while out on the road as a drummer in a touring punk band. "Everything made sense when I was on tour," he says. "It just felt like that was where I was meant to be."But at that time in his life, he says he compartmentalized everything he was passionate about.
"There's the performance and theatricality of what I do," he says. "There's the kind of punk ethos and even sometimes sound that trickles into what I still do. I think I found a way, finally, to be entirely myself, and it turned into this project."
