Named an “Artist You Need To Hear” by Alt Press, when it comes to making music with a massive impact, less is more for 18-year-old viral hitmaker. Since the arrival of his soul-baring debut single“Love Letter”—an April 2020 release that racked up more than 1.5 million Spotify streams in just a week—the Los Angeles-based artist has shown his supreme talent for drawing immense emotion from the most minimal of elements: fearlessly honest lyrics, unpredictable rhythms, and his rare gift for conveying complex feelings in immediately catchy pop songs. With his new music, payton looks forward to strengthening his connection with the countless fans who have come to rely on his songs for comfort and catharsis. “When I was on tour, I had a lot of people coming up to me and telling me that my music had saved them when they were going through tough situations in their lives,” payton says. “In my own life, I’m not really the type to be super-honest with the people around me if I’m having problems; I usually just deal with everything by putting it into a song. It means a lot to me that my music could end up helping people and making them feel better at those moments when they feel like no one understands them.”
