Nate Peck

Nathaniel "Nate" Peck is an American rock singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist of the band FireHouse. He gained national attention as a golden ticket recipient on season 21 of American Idol in 2023 and later became FireHouse's official lead singer following the death of original frontman C. J. Snare in 2024. In 2025, the band released the single "Mighty Fine Lady", written by Peck and guitarist Bill Leverty.

Early life Nathaniel Peck was raised in Linden. He attended elementary school in Linden, transferred to Holly Academy through eighth grade, and later graduated from Lake Fenton High School in 2019. His father Jerry Peck, who died in 2007, and his grandfather Chuck Peck, were both involved in music, and Peck has cited them as formative influences. He developed an early affinity for classic rock, particularly music from the 1970s and 1980s, and has stated that he gravitated toward older musical styles from a young age.

Career Before gaining national attention, Peck was the lead singer of the Michigan rock band WANTED, performing regularly in the Oxford and Leonard areas. He also shared cover songs and original material on social media.

After Snare's death on April 5, 2024, Peck continued performing with FireHouse and was later made the full-time lead vocalist with the approval of the band and Snare's family.

In 2025, the band released the single "Mighty Fine Lady", their first studio recording featuring Peck on lead vocals and their first release without Snare. The song was written by Peck and Leverty and released exclusively through the band's official website.

Personal life Peck returned to Michigan after his time in Nashville, Tennessee and resides in Holly. Outside of music, he has expressed an interest in local history and artifact collecting, particularly searching for antique medicine bottles in rivers near Fenton and Linden. He has cited artists such as Metallica, Boston, Styx, Foreigner, Mötley Crüe, and Dokken as major musical influences.
