Myspace Comments | Myspace Graphics | Myspace Surveys Just shedding & having fun!The Band is no longer, but this was the 1st band I was ever in.......God has been & is still good to me. This was just a stepping stone........MOVES ARE STILL BEING MADE!!!!!!!!! Pete Alexander, also known as “Young Pete”, is an accomplished musician who has played with Kirk Franklin, Rachelle Ferrell, R& B artist Lloyd, El Pus (a band which was signed to Virgin Records), Darius Rucker ( frontman of Hootie & The Blowfish) and many other Atlanta based artists. He attended the Atlanta Institute of Music (AIM) and studied music under Tom Knight (TLC), Sonny Emory (Earth, Wind, & Fire), Jorel Flynn (Kelly Price & Ann Nesby), Chris Coleman (Israel & New Breed), and Creig Harbor (Department Head of Percussions at AIM). He is currently the drummer for award-winning pop artist Edwin McCain. Young Pete was born and raised in Miami, FL but now resides in ATL where music, his passion, was strongly pursued. Playing since the age of three, his biggest influence came from playing in church and his curiosity in music was soon heightened by the styles of Latin, R & B, Jazz, Rock, & Hip Hop just to name a few. “I am very thankful to God for giving me the ability and opportunity to play the drums and to hopefully inspire, motivate, and to be a blessing 2 anyone who has a love for music. Practice, preparation, and perseverance are the three keys to becoming a skilled musician. So with those keys anyone can accomplish their goals.”
