yo! i’m peter! i’m an artist from the bay area, now livin in la! i make pop music and try to spread mental health awareness through everything i do! i’ve been playing guitar since i was 7 and grew up on literally everything from worship music, to classic rock, blues, pop, etc. i’m heavily inspired by people like john mayer, the 1975, lewis capaldi, and honestly all of my friends. during my senior year of high school i made my first song and put it out for my friends and family to hear. it ended up getting on some pretty cool playlists and hit 100,000 plays on Spotify alone within the first couple months of its release, and it honestly changed my life—the response i got from the song was just insane… i received hundreds of dm’s from people saying how much the song had affected their life. it wasn’t until that song came out, that i had realized how much potential there was to make an impact on youth culture through my music. a few months later though, i had ended up losing my brother in law to suicide in 2018. the last thing he posted on his facebook page was a link to stream my first song. it was an insanely rough time for me, my family, and everyone around me. it broke us. as i kept making music over the years though, i’ve received thousands and thousands of dm’s, mostly from random people saying that my music had really helped them. at this point, i’m still thinking to myself that maybe if i wrote some of these songs earlier--that maybe my brother in law would still be here? those dm’s i received, conversations i had, etc. have really put a lot on my heart and a ton of purpose in my soul to continue doing what i'm doing. i truly hope that you can connect with my music and that it can give you an escape to help you build new perspectives.

this song i am dropping, “wishing”, is one of the more recent songs i’ve made. i wrote it about the idea of being in a relationship where BOTH of you are toxic. you're always breaking up, getting back together, acting like you don't care when you really do, etc. and for some reason you can't seem to make the final decision to just walk away and end things. i wrote it in hopes of inspiring you to stop letting yourself stay in pointless situations where you're constantly hurt, over & over. i hope you stop "wasting your life" away with unnecessary BS… whether that be your relationships, your job, etc. also i’m wishin that you’ll dig this song <3
