Peake "grew up with solid metal", listing such bands as Anthrax, Megadeth, and Metallica as early favorites. He subsequently grew interested in Canadian country rock group Blue Rodeo, mentioning that their music "really got me thinking about what fits together. Chord-wise, melody-wise, where harmonies feel good and feel right." Along with brothers Chad and Mike Kroeger, Peake cofounded The Village Idiots, a cover band with a playlist consisting primarily of Metallica songs. The band mostly played in bars in and around Peake and the Kroegers' hometown of Hanna, Alberta, Canada. Later, the group reformed as Nickelback and Peake was responsible for the early funding of the band, borrowing $30,000 from a local bank on a line of credit. Early in his career, Peake primarily played Fender Telecasters.
Peake is married to Treana Peake, a Mount Pleasant, Vancouver-based fashion designer and philanthropist. The couple met in high school and have two children together. Peake tests new music he's working on with his wife, son, and brother.
