Naylor

Launched in mid 2021, Naylor is a South London (U.K) based producer/multi instrumentalist & artist who in the first 2 years of releasing music, has drawn impressive tastemaker support both in the U.K and U.S, ranging from Magnetic magazine to BBC Radio 1’s “Dancefloor moment” feature, The Blessed Madonna to Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Dance tracks of the year”

Hailing from Halifax, Peter Ibbetson (Naylor) was born into a household where there was always music playing (he remembers The Beatles particularly, and lots of Motown and soul records).

Peter moved to London for more opportunities as a musician. Familiar to many who have made the move to the capital, his first room, in Catford, was a classic London box room, for which he paid dirt cheap rent and a couple of dinners a week to a trumpet-playing friend of a friend. Looking back at the people he met and the gigs that he played, Peter describes that box room in Catford as the foundation of everything that’s followed.

As he moved into a more electronic sphere, getting to grips with new hardware and playing weird and wonderful gigs of all shapes and sizes, Peter was deep in the hustle; becoming a regular session musician for the likes of George Fitzgerald, Rosie Lowe and Makeness, touring major festivals all over Europe, this love of artistry, live performance and music led him to his own artist project, and here we are…

With Naylor, he looks to get back to the “bare bones” of what music is — melody, harmony, and rhythm. Inspired by early Jamie xx, and the way artists like Bicep and Caribou have been able to translate their material onto stage, Naylor is a bright and intricate electronic project that will welcome collaborations with vocalists and, most importantly, be performed live with a full band.
