High-octane indie rock meeting the neon pulse of 2000s blog-house. It is the sound of a messy, brilliant night out that you never want to end.

Master Peace, the moniker of London-based artist Peace Okezie, represents a pivotal shift in the UK alternative scene, successfully reviving and reimagining the 'Indie Sleaze' and dance-punk movements of the mid-2000s. Emerging from a background that included collaborations with grime royalty like Jme, Okezie pivoted toward a guitar-centric sound that draws heavily from the post-punk revival and early blog-house.
His debut full-length, 'How To Make A Master Peace' (2024), solidified his position as a critical darling, earning him an Ivor Novello Rising Star Award. His sound is characterized by sharp, angular guitar work, heavy synth integration, and a vocal style that balances melodic pop sensibilities with a raw, energetic delivery. Culturally, he sits at the intersection of the UK's rich indie heritage and its vibrant electronic underground, citing a diverse range of influences from The Strokes to Santigold. Critics often highlight his ability to channel the chaotic energy of the 2000s without falling into derivative pastiche, instead creating a high-fidelity, inclusive version of the genre for Gen Z.
