Petey (musician)
Peter Martin, known professionally as Petey, is an American musician and social media personality who rose to prominence on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic. He has 1.5 million followers on the social media platform, and has released three studio albums on the Terrible label. Early life 

Martin was born in Detroit and raised in Chicago. He played with emo band Young Jesus and attended Loyola University before moving to California in 2013, where for a time he lived in a hand-made tent in a friend's backyard. Musical career 

While attending Loyola University in New Orleans, Martin released music under "90 Pounds of Pete" with fellow Music Industry junior, Adam Stewart. They released a handful of singles as well as two EPs, "Promiseland" in 2012 (locally) and "Perfect High Five" in 2016. Notably, a single with vocals from Devon Baldwin was released prior to "Perfect High Five" attracting more attention to Martin's work. Petey was signed to Terrible in 2020, and has released two albums and several standalone singles with the label. In 2022, he embarked on a US tour, including playing festivals such as Lollapalooza and Outside Lands. In March 2022, he released a short film called Lean Into Life, based on his 2021 album of the same name, directed by Director Crane. Comedy 

Martin's TikToks, created together with his friend and manager Will Crane (known sometimes as Director Crane), have been described as "wholesome" and "absurd", and feature him playing multiple characters, using many quick cuts to stitch the skits together. Martin began making sketches on TikTok when his nascent career in music was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and has parlayed his popularity on the platform into sponsorship deals and collaborations with other figures like Fred Durst.
