Warren Peay has inked with Integrity Music. The Bamberg, South Carolina native first gained national recognition as a top eight contestant on Season 21 of American Idol. He was later featured on Zach William’s “Sundays Comin’.”

“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.”

“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,” adds Peay. “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.”
