Early Life
Pearce was inspired to pick up the guitar by watching his father in cover bands. By the age of 17, he was busking at local farmers' markets, playing covers but also sneaking in a few original songs. He later attended the University of Western Australia, where he studied marketing and finance, then shifted to the music business, which inspired him to make even more original music.

His music possesses a depth of experience delivered through wafting melodies, thoughtfully blended found sounds, and quietly introspective lyrics.
Pearce's honest songwriting and relatable storytelling have resonated both in Australia and overseas, with over 60 million streams to date.
