MASTER PEACE

SJM presents MASTER PEACE plus support live at The Dome

Never one to fit neatly into a singular box, Peace grew up with Skepta and Giggs in his brother’s headphones, and The Kooks, Bloc Party and Vampire Weekend in his own. By the time he was making music himself, he’d already learned to navigate both worlds. “I always had my foot in each door but never felt like I fit in with either crowd, so I decided I needed to create something new,” he says. That split identity birthed his genre-hybrid sound.

Earlier this year Peace entered a new era, with ‘Stupid Kids’. Released February 27th 2026, the EP stood as a celebration of resilience and a rejection of doubt, with Peace’s past looming large in the story. Growing up with crime on his doorstep, and losing friends to violence and prison shaped how he sees the world - one he could easily have been pulled into. As a child, his God-fearing family thought he was possessed - he wasn’t, of course. He was instead living with undiagnosed autism and ADHD. Written off by teachers, kicked out of school with no qualifications, and labelled “a stupid kid,” Peace’s path could have gone another way.

This project is for those kids - the ones who’ve been misunderstood, underestimated, or given up on. For the first time, Peace is opening up about that side of his life.“Yeah, I am a stupid kid, and I left school with no GCSEs… but I managed to beat the odds,” he says, not with bitterness, but with pride. In navigating a system that didn’t understand him, Peace channels years of frustration and growth into the music.
