ABOUT

Hey, thanks for checking out my profile.
I'm Peter, 37 and I'm a keyboardist who can also play drums, bass, guitar, and do some vocals. I have only been focusing exclusively on Keys for a few years but I try to practice, play, and learn every day.
My biggest interest is writing and composing original music. I write and record stuff on a near daily basis and would enjoy collaborating with other songwriters. I am self taught but getting very into musical theory and using that to write more complex and pleasing music.
Having said that, I also have a good time learning other people's (or band's) music or just playing covers. I am comfortable playing live gigs.

My playing level is moderate, don't ask me to do classical or complex piano runs (though one day I will be able to handle that) but I can manage most rock type styles. I have a good ear for improvising and can solo as well. With complex pieces I practice them until I get them right.
