Peter began his musical journey early in life while watching his mother teach piano to young music lovers. Unbeknownst to her she was teaching her son a love of music as well, which would last him a lifetime.
From that time on, he was drawn to music as a life force. After years of experience as a participant on the dance floor of clubs all over the country, he came to know first hand what excites club people; what brings them to an emotional and physical high. After deciding to become a dj in the late seventies, Peter trained under some of Los Angeles' best djs and continues to remix and co-produce with DJ Manny Lehman , Dj Blaine Soileau, and DJ Rafael M. He has played a number of clubs and parties all over the country and Canada.
Peters style can best be described as energy/progressive/tribal to meet and propel the crowd at whatever level it demands. He can feel the energy and manipulate it through his many years of personal participation on the dance floor.
He continues to hone his talent and his relationship with music both as a Dj / Remixer/ Producer. He keeps the love alive. Delivery and execution in mixing is a talent, but maintaining a full dance floor is the ultimate objective. Peter believes that his style and musical taste is greatly defined by his Cuban roots, a culture known for its energy, creativity and love of music and dance.
