Peter started his musical journey at a young age playing piano, and later began writing music primarily in electronic and EDM genres.

He has also composed for various live ensembles and instruments, with pieces ranging from big-band jazz ensembles to full symphonic orchestra to solo piano. He received a diploma in Music Industry Arts from Fanshawe College where he was nominated best 1st year producer, and currently studies at University of Toronto where he is working toward his Bachelor of Music with a focus on music theory, composition, music technology, and piano pedagogy. Nowadays he enjoys writing and doing sound for games, playing piano, singing in an acapella jazz choir, and teaching piano.
