Peter Francis McPoland was born on November 3, 2000, in Burlington, Vermont. He moved to Texas when he was seven years old.

In a 2019 interview, he stated, "both of my parents are very into music, and my father — a lot of my influences come from my father." [5] He has also stated that his major influences include, John Prine, Bruce Springsteen, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Dire Straits. When McPoland was younger, he planned to be a folk singer, and even asked for a banjo for Christmas, but his parents got him an electric guitar instead.

Throughout 2018–2020, McPoland released his first singles "Lady Bird", "Sally Forth", and "I Love You Too". [7]
In 2020, McPoland released his song "Romeo and Juliet", but it was not until March 2021, when he posted an acoustic version of the song on his TikTok, that the video gathered over a million views. [8] The song, along with the video, helped him start his career, and subsequently, in May of the same year, he signed to Columbia Records. [1] After signing, he continued to release singles such as "Shit Show", "Eloise", "i can't sleep", and more. [9] [10] Beginning in 2022, McPoland began releasing singles including "Dead Air," "News at 9," "Let Her Remember," and "String Lights," which were eventually included in the release of his first 7-track EP, Slow Down, on May 13, 2022. Throughout August and September 2022, McPoland served as the opening act for Twenty One Pilots on their The Icy Tour. [11] [12] [13] [14]

[16] A third single, "Turn off the Noise", was released on June 2, 2023, along with the announcement that his album would be released on August 11, 2023, and would be titled Piggy. McPoland stated that the album title references a main character in the novel Lord of the Flies , and that it was inspired by his emotions regarding his parents' divorce.
