Peace Okezie, the brainchild behind Master Peace, does not mince his words. He needs to get things out and embodies the phrase, “If you’re going to say it, just say it.” While never careless or unsympathetic with his words, the phrase is an affirmation that fuels him.

Lucky for us, his energy is on par with the idiosyncratic, effervescent and most importantly, extremely good music he makes with intention and a keen ear. Master Peace’s music is about inviting people into the weird, wonderful and cacophonous world he’s created. Attracting listeners who crave rebelliousness and divergence from the norm.

Master Peace’s debut album How To Make A Master Peace, pushes the parameters of genre more than ever. Peace flexes his inspirations by cutting through the sonic generations of British music that have raised him. ‘I Might Be Fake’ has the urgency of 2005’s ‘Giddy Stratospheres’ by the Long Blondes, mixed with the spaciness of the late noughties Klaxons catalogue. ‘Shangaladang’ is an ode to Peace's black music inspirations, with a nod to Skepta; here he adapts the lyrics ‘I’ve got my hood mates and white niggas” from the rapper’s 2016 song ‘Man’ to fit his more rugged, The Clash-like tune.

The raucous artist has been hailed as the new voice of British Indie and was a “One To Watch” nominee at the 2023 AIM Awards. The 11 track album is a pastiche of the alternative music the British artist was raised on, from Arctic Monkeys & Friendly Fires to Gorillaz. His headline tour, culminating at the iconic Scala, will see Master Peace create his own legacy in British Indie music, and this album is a statement of intent.

Master Peace, real name Peace Okezie, has already racked up bold collaborations with the likes of Santigold, Wale and The Streets, played a string of electric headline shows across the country, while his Top 30 charting debut album earned him the Rising Star trophy at the 2024 Ivor Novello Awards. “It feels like other people are believing in what I’m doing now,” Peace says. “This is only the beginning though.”

After years of building Master Peace into something worth believing in, 2024 looks set to be his breakout year. Not that he’s planning on taking the easy route. “Nothing worth having is easy, but I knew what I was getting into when I first started making music,” Peace continues. The plan for the future is the same as what’s brought him this far. “I just need to keep making music that’s undeniable.”
