Curtis Peoples, songwriter with a defined understanding of creating a dynamic pop music—crafting songs that fans of rock, acoustic folk, and pop can enjoy equally. With a mix of free-spirited choruses and addictive rhythms, Curtis’ style of “coffeeshop arena rock” is genuinely his own unique musical fingerprint.

Although brand new to the Los Angeles music scene at the time, it took merely a matter of months for Curtis Peoples to score his first big break via a national tour with friend and fellow singer-songwriter Tyler Hilton (Warner Brothers Records, One Tree Hill, Walk The Line). The road certainly agreed with this native of San Diego as tour dates with Josh Kelley, Hanson, Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers, Tim Reynolds (longtime Dave Matthews collaborator), Joe Firstman (Carson Daly Show), and others quickly followed. An appearance on Ryan Cabrera's on-air songwriting competition MTV's SCORE also served as a platform to perform his original material in front of a national audience.

While gaining a dedicated contingent of fans all around the country via these treks and media appearances the music industry had also been taking notice. Peoples' music has received commercial radio airplay at KMTT (Seattle), KPRI (San Diego), and a number of college stations. He was named by Music Connection as one of the "100 Unsigned Artists To Watch in 2008!" It didn't take long for the buzz to reach producer Marshall Altman (Matt Nathanson, Kate Voegele, Marc Broussard). After experiencing a live show and a brief initial meeting, Altman agreed to take the helm of Curtis Peoples' debut album. The resulting album was 10 well-crafted songs, from the hard rocking swagger of “Heart Will Fall” (co-written by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder) and Tom Petty-esque “Back Where I Started” to the acoustic and contemplative “Wake Up” and funky power pop of the Tyler Hilton co-written “Tell Me I'm Wrong.”

Curtis Peoples' self-titled debut album released in the summer of 2008 was followed by extensive national touring with the likes of Jason Reeves, Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers, Tyrone Wells, Tyler Hilton, Josh Hoge, Graham Colton, and a performance on The Rock Boat IX.

December 1, 2009 marked the release of Peoples’ new digital EP, ‘All I Want’. Featuring the new single, “All I Want”, two previously unreleased tracks, and the “All I Want” music video.

In 2010, Curtis continued to tour and began to write for his next album. He worked with a number of great writers including Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift), Josh Kelley, Kevin Griffin (Better Than Ezra, Howie Day), Mark Weinberg (Matt Nathanson) and Busbee (Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban). Busbee just produced Curtis’ new album slated for release later in 2011.

Sounds Like: Curtis Peoples is a singer/songwriter with more of a rock/pop mentality than most artists in his category. With a mix of big choruses and jumping rhythms, Curtis attempts to bring the radio-friendly but still inspiring sounds of U2, Counting Crows, and Pearl Jam and the rhythmic folk of John Mayer and Jason Mraz into his songs.
