Merrill Beth Nisker (born November 11, 1966), better known as Peaches, is a Canadian-born electronic musician and performance artist currently residing in Berlin.
Born Merrill Beth Nisker in Toronto, Ontario, Peaches attended a private Jewish school where her classes were taught half in English and half in Hebrew. Kids from the nearby Catholic school frequently teased her. Nisker was a class clown, who “wasn’t particularly smart but was interested in creative performance stuff.”
Before she became Peaches, she was an independent music and drama teacher.
She plays her own instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her own albums. In this interview you can see that her “can-do” attitude to technical areas of her craft has been a part of her success.
Don’t think you are unable to do something because you are not clever or talented enough. You are clever and talented – everybody is!
I love the makeup, it reminds me of the glam rock on the 1970′s
reminds old songs………..
Great video. Her makeup is a throw back to the 80′s.
we will always love you Jacko!!!

I love electronic music producers, my favorite are DJs such as Above and Beyond or Deadmau5 (who is also from Canada). I usually try to take the songs I like from these producers and play them on the piano. Thanks for the post!
Nice post about Peaches the electronic musician. I enjoyed the video and her makeup is amazing.
