Daniel Pitout (born January 6, 1988), known professionally as Orville Peck, is a South African country musician based in the United States and Canada. He is known for often wearing a mask and not showing his face publicly.[1][2][3][4]
He released his debut album Pony in 2019[1] followed by the EP Show Pony the next year. His second studio album Bronco was released in 2022. After a self-imposed hiatus in 2023, Peck released his third studio album Stampede in 2024. W Magazine said that his voice is a "deep, calm bass-baritone that recalls the bygone era of Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison; the (his) haunting guitar riffs drift between rockabilly, blues, and dreamy shoegazing distortions."[5]
In March 2025, Peck is set to make his Broadway debut as the Emcee in the revival of Cabaret at the August Wilson Theatre opposite Eva Noblezada as Sally Bowles.[6]
