Singer/Songwriter PEGGIE HOSKINS
Bred on gospel, soul, funk rock, and blues in Atlanta, Georgia, singer/songwriter PEGGIE HOSKINS began "performing" at a young age. She experienced her first recording at the tender age of four when her mother secretly recorded her singing debut while the young PEGGIE was enjoying her bath. Sure enough within minutes the future diva could be heard belting out gospel songs in near perfect pitch and a songbird was born. She began at the age of 6 studying piano and music theory and continued on until just out of high school.
In early 1994 while competing in a local competition, PEGGIE grabbed the attention of Five Star Productions of Nashville, Tennessee. With this group she began performing professionally and decided to make performing her career. She traveled all over the southeast and finally decided to get back home to her roots. In 1996 she met the legendary Ray Sharp and together they formed a dynamic duo and quickly gained a loyal following. Soon they added the incredible talents of guitarist Wayne Langford and drummer John Barwick. Sadly, PEGGIE'S mentor and partner, Ray, retired from the industry and PEGGIE moved on to start her own group.
By the summer of 2002, PEGGIE formed her band VerTigo. With Vertigo's chemistry and incredible mix of talent, this band has quickly become highly regarded for their luscious vocal harmonies and solid grooves. They travel all over the southeast performing for corporate events, weddings, clubs and opening for major artists. Their ability to expel tremendous energy and cover all types of music has this musical group in high demand even to this day. In addition to working with her band, PEGGIE is currently recording her own songs in the studio and does session work recording for other songwriters, as well. Her experience in the studio recording jingles, voice-over, and background vocals keep her in constant demand around the Atlanta area. She also performs live background vocals for other artists at concerts, showcases, etc..
PEGGIE HOSKINS' soulful and impassioned vocals, incredible range, and her innate ability to connect with her audience, keeps you glued to her during her performances. She is a gifted songwriter and her lyrics are forced from the fires of personal experience. She can make you laugh, cry and feel about every emotion known to man. Her genuine and down-to-earth personality, passionate love for music, humor and high energy are what makes this young lady so unique during every performance. Her amazing talents and apparent love for singing continues to win her an ever-growing loyal fan base.
