Peaches is a Canadian musician, record producer, director and visual artist. She was born Merril Nisker, on the 11th of November, 1966, in Ontario, Canada. She began her career in the 1990s, as a part of the folk band Mermaid Cafe. Five years later, she founded the punk rock band called the Shit. She released her debut solo album in that same year, “Fancypants Hoodlum”. In 2000, she released her second album, this time under the alias Peaches.
