About Me


Peter Holden is a singer/songwriter/frontman formerly from Sacramento, California. His most recent project "The Athens," was a pop band with high expectations. When the band began to run it's course, Peter decided to uproot and move to surrounding areas of Phoenix, Arizona to continue the search for his place in music.
...Peter describes himself as a "pop songwriter with hooks to spare," and considers himself not only a songwriter, but a performer as well. Some artists write because they want to...Peter writes music because he feels he has to. With some radio exposure in Sacramento, and playing to growing crowds with his band...Peter wanted something more. He also describes himself as "an artist who wants to write one song which will be around for years." But with songs like Pulling Stars, Wasted Youth, and many others...he's already writen some killer material. So what's next....?
In the remaining months of 2009 Peter will be starting over with the promise of something tangible at his fingertips. So take a listen and be a friend...there's a chance Peter's name won't be a secret for long!
