Peach Tree Rascals [1] are a music collective from San Jose, California. The group achieved fame with their song, " Mariposa," which went viral on TikTok. The group has been featured on New Music Friday and has received critical acclaim from Billboard, Pigeons and Planes, and MTV. [2]
The group is composed of singer-rappers Isaac Pech, Tarrek Abdel-Khaliq and Joseph Barros as well as producer and mixer Dominic “Dom” Pizano and creative director Jorge Olazaba. [3] [4] [5] [6]
History
The group formed as a group of friends in high school, with many of them being second-generation children of immigrants. [6] [7] [8] [9] Pech moved to Khaliq's and Pizano's high school and became a part of their friend group, creating CD's and inspiring the group to create music. [3] [10] A week before their release of "Glide," the group were camping trying to figure out a name, to which Olabaza suggested "Peach Tree Village." Pech suggested that "village" be replaced with "rascals." [11] The group began releasing music in 2018 with the debut single "Glide." [12] [13]
The group returned in 2019 with the single "Plus," [14] [15] moving in together. [16] On August 27, 2019, the group released the song " Mariposa," which went viral on TikTok, being used for more than 1.6 million videos. [11] [16]
In 2020, they were signed to 10K Projects and released the single " Deer." [17] In August 2020, the group moved to Los Angeles and released an acoustic version of "Mariposa." [16] [18]
