From the Church Stage to Center Stage: Peter Burton’s Journey of Hope and Harmony

Peter Burton, a California-based singer-songwriter and worship leader, has always believed in the transformative power of music. Recently signed to Integrity Music and managed by Story House Collective under the mentorship of Matthew West, Burton is stepping boldly into the next chapter of his journey as a solo artist. For Burton, music is more than melodies and lyrics—it is a lifeline, one that has carried him through the trials of mental illness and anchored his faith in God’s unwavering faithfulness. His artistry, characterized by its heartfelt sincerity and contagious energy, seeks to connect deeply with listeners by addressing the raw, universal struggles of the human experience while pointing them to the eternal hope found in Jesus Christ. His debut single, “IT’S A GOOD TIME TO PRAISE,” is not only a celebration of God’s goodness but also a personal testimony of restoration and resilience.

Burton’s artistic trajectory is a testament to the power of community and mentorship. Having co-founded Bayside Church’s band, Thrive Worship, and contributed to their chart-topping debut album, Burton has spent years honing his craft alongside seasoned musicians like Lincoln Brewster. Now, with the support of Integrity Music, Burton’s mission extends beyond the walls of the church to reach a broader audience. Integrity Music President Blaine Barcus calls Burton’s artistry a “natural progression” of his longstanding relationship with the label, highlighting his ability to “speak with heartfelt sincerity” and always center his message on Jesus. Matthew West echoes this sentiment, celebrating Burton’s unique gift as a worship leader and communicator. As Burton prepares to release new music in 2025, he remains deeply committed to bringing a message of hope and healing to a world in need, proving that worship is not confined to Sunday mornings but is a daily rhythm of grace and gratitude.
