G'day, I'm Pete. Bit of a wiz on the keys. My happy place is playing high-energy, funky music that makes people wanna dance!
I've been playing covers from 70's through to modern-day music.
Enjoy working with singers & writers on compositions, structure and arrangements. Got all the gear to record through to live performance.
Blues/Rock/Pop/Funk influence. I've played with a variety of musicians and bands and even released collaborated material through Mushroom Distribution Service as early as 1992; worked in pre & post-production;
Self-taught keyboard player which makes me good at improvising.
Play a little guitar, percussion & drums, but all the action happens on the keys. Quick learner who's adaptable through good improvisation. Love collaborating with other talented musicians, as my quick wit makes my improvisation inspirational.
Love a good rhythm section.. soul and funk is where I am most happy. Always happy to meet new people and network
