• Born the eldest of three sons in a Christian family. His father is a pastor and his mother was a stay at home mom.
• He lived a fairly normal, but somewhat sheltered lifestyle. Because of being in a household that was fairly tight on religion, a lot of things weren't available to him. He didn't watch a lot of regular television, he didn't play video games. He never got to participate in a lot of normal kid activities. He didn't complain. In fact, he thought this was normal because his parents more or less made it that way for him.
• When he was a teenager, he made a few friends in school that were a bit more alternative than the average religious school goer. They got to participate in more than Peyton did and exposed him to such things. They weren't bad things, but to him, they were 'alternative'. He found his love for music through these people.
• At age fifteen, he approached his parents with the idea of getting into music. Not as a business venture or a career. Just as a hobby. He was very interested in learning how to play bass. His parents deliberated the idea for at least a week or so before deciding he could purchase one and learn how to play.
• He's a self taught bass player. Has been since he was fifteen. He never relied on anyone to help him and his parents figured the learning experience should be done in his own way than with someone else helping him.
• His father wanted him to follow in his footsteps and become a pastor like himself after he graduated. After a bit of soul searching during his senior year of school, he found that he wasn't interested in being a pastor. He respects what his father does, but he thinks he can serve a lot better to people through music.
• Both mother and father were a bit weary about letting their son get into the actual music business, and hesitantly let him do so, but they soon found that he was getting into making some music that wasn't like the "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" that they were hip to hearing about.
• Has been working on and off with various musicians until he finally settled in West Chester, Pennsylvania where he met imperash. They hit it off musically and soon begun their band Happenstance, who are now signed to Seven Shot Records. They've just released their first video, Hero.
• He is still a good Christian boy. He attends church on Sundays and whenever he normally should. He's also a virgin, a choice he has made to keep until he gets married. He was brought up on wholesome values and continues to instill them the best way he can. He's a gentleman, keeping chivalry alive, and is generally an all-around helpful person to others.
