Orville Peck: Up Next Interview | Apple Music

“I’m wearing a mask because I’m a country western star,” Country crooner Orville Peck says of his trademark fringed face covering. “The point is combining ultra-sincerity with a heightened version of who you are at your core.” In an interview with Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson, Peck talks about honing his talents as a performer from a young age, getting past his insecurities on stage, and how his live performances bring all types of people together. Peck’s Sub Pop debut, Pony, toys with long-standing country tropes and the very notion of honesty and authenticity; check out the album, interview, and film along with the Up Next playlist featuring more burgeoning artists.
