Warren Peay, his wife and daughter and the Integrity Music team

NASHVILLE, TENN. (AUGUST 13, 2025) - Integrity Music has announced the signing of Warren Peay, a talented artist from Bamberg, South Carolina. Peay began singing and leading worship at a young age and has been actively involved in worship leadership for several years at Colston Branch Baptist Church. He gained national recognition as a top contestant on Season 21 of American Idol, where he captivated audiences and secured a spot in the Top 8. Influenced by artists such as NEEDTOBREATHE, Zach Williams, and Ben Fuller, as well as worship leaders Brandon Lake and Chris Tomlin, Peay seeks to share his journey as a believer in an honest and heartfelt manner.

 

“I first met Warren in 2023 when he featured on a Zach Williams song," shares Integrity Music President, Blaine Barcus. "I was blown away by his voice in the studio! More importantly, I’ve come to know him as a humble guy who loves Jesus and leads worship at his small country church in South Carolina. The Integrity team is thrilled to now partner with him and watch God use his songs to touch the world.”

 

After years of perseverance in pursuing music, Peay experienced a turning point when he fully surrendered to God’s plan for his life, leading to new opportunities and open doors in his career. He impressed the American Idol judges during his audition with a cover of Zach Williams' song "To the Table." Williams and Peay began communicating during his time on the show, and Williams invited him to Nashville to be featured on his song, “Sunday’s Comin'.”

 

Peay adds, "I am beyond excited about my partnership with Integrity Music, and I am proud to be part of a Christ-centered family focused on spreading the love of God. I hope my music resonates with people in all stages of their faith, young and old, and brings those who may not know Christ closer to Him."

 

As he prepares to release and share new music while touring this year, Warren looks forward to sharing his voice, faith, and message with a growing community of listeners. He has been playing live shows across the Southeast and East Coast since 2023. Follow along on his journey on social media at @warrenpeay.
