At the age of 19, Peter began putting his musical talents to use for his church through singing, drumming, and a capella vocal groups. For the last fifteen years, Peter has served as the Musical Director for the Los Angeles Church of Christ (Metro LA Region). Their gospel choir has appeared on stage with Enrique Eglesias and has performed at venues such as the Rose Bowl, Shrine Auditorium and various events throughout California.
In 2008, Peter worked with Grammy Award winning artist, David Joyce, and composer William Belote on a music project. David and Bill, through their band, “Gopher Gods” (www.gophergods.com), have written and produced several songs that capture Peter’s unique vocal style and feature his wide vocal range (listen).
As a musician, Peter has performed over the past 25 years with a number of musicians and bands and actively drums and sings for select events. In 2008, Peter took his long-time hobby of music collecting and deejaying in a new direction by "formally" joining the professional DJ community, performing weddings, parties, and events. Since that time, he has provided DJ and music entertainment for hundreds of engagements.
Peter, along with his wife Monica, live in the LA area and have two boys.
