Isaac Peabody, known by his stage name PEABOD, is a hip-hop artist, singer-songwriter-producer from Seattle, Washington. PEABOD is signed to Centricity Music. He debuted his first mix-tape Healthy Snacks in 2018.
Isaac Peabody began his career in 2014 as a folk singer/songwriter, independently releasing his EP, Steps. As a long time hip-hop fan, he began to write hip-hop tracks for fun. This soon turned into a full mixtape, Healthy Snacks, which he released independently in 2017 under the moniker PEABOD. The self produced, recorded, and engineered mixtape caught the attention of Centricity Music, who then signed PEABOD. Healthy Snacks was re-released by Centricity Music in June 2018.
Under Centricity, Healthy Snacks and subsequent projects like the Backpack EP (2019) and Growing Up, Part 1 (2020) and Part 2 (2022) reflected his upbeat âÂÂhappy hipâÂÂhopâ style, blending positive messages with clever wordplay and themes rooted in his faith.
After 2022, Peabod transitioned away from Centricity Music and began releasing music independently. Although there is no formal public press announcement detailing the departure, multiple releases from 2023 onward list his work as independent, indicating his career continuation beyond the Centricity affiliation.
Since this transition, Peabod has maintained a steady release schedule of singles and full projects, including the independently released album Play! in 2023 and multiple standalone singles such as âÂÂLifetime Supplyâ later that year.
Peabod also remains active in collaborations and contributing to other artistsâ releases, appearing on radio singles such as âÂÂNo Bad Daysâ with KJâÂÂ52.
PEABOD defines the genre of his music as happy hip-hop.
