Pepper Wood is a homeschooled 16-year-old singer-songwriter from a small coastal town, in New Zealand. Drawing inspiration from the wild beauty around her and the emotions of growing up, she has been writing since she was eight chasing shadows through her melodies. She writes honest, heartfelt songs that blend pop with hints of country and folk.
Currently developing her skills on guitar, ukulele, and piano, with a voice that slips between haunting and sweet in a way you don’t see coming, Pepper is carving out her sound one lyric at a time. Her debut single “Gunpowder” is a raw and powerful introduction — a track that channels vulnerability into strength.
With a passion for storytelling and a fearless creative spark, Pepper Wood is an emerging artist to watch. "Gunpowder" isn’t just a song — it’s a warning shot. This is just the start for her.
