About Me

Hello, I’m Pete. A singer/songwriter from a town called Coatbridge, just outside of Glasgow, Scotland. I recently moved to L.A. and although I like it here in the U.S. I plan to travel everywhere and pretty much anywhere to promote my music with and without a band. Looking forward to the future!BIOG: Pete MacLeod is a Scottish singer/songwriter who has a musical diversity that no-one could question. Appearances at venues such as Glasgow’s King Tuts (SOLD OUT THREE TIMES), Glasgow’s ABC (HEADLINE SHOW, 1300 CAPACITY VENUE) Glasgow’s Carling Academy, Garage, QMU (Support), London’s Mean Fiddler and Garage (Support), Manchester’s Academy’s 1 2 and 3 (Support) and Dublin’s Olympia (Support), Scotland’s biggest annual music festival T In The Park, L.A.’s Viper Room, The Echo and Hotel Cafe amongst many other venues show how hard working Pete is to build on his fan base. In 2004 Pete signed an Indie label agreement with the label releasing a single through various HMV and Virgin stores across Scotland and briefly entered the British charts. After completing all of the above and working on the songs for sometime Pete felt it was time to record an album.Pete recently completed a UK tour supporting OCEAN COLOUR SCENE (SOLO ACOUSTIC) and has also been picking up on some great airplay success in the States. Recently legendary Indie DJ Rodney Bingenheimer has praised Pete’s songs by playing them on his show at KROQ five weeks in a row! "So What Is The News" and "Modern Soul". Pete has decided to put all of his songs available for FREE DOWNLOAD on his website. One of these songs "Panic" has caught the attention of music visionary Alan Mcgee saying: "Pete is a great songwriter I have met over here in LA. He’s in my top friends and his song Panic which is an amazing tune is my profile song. Download Panic it costs nothing and is a tune worth having on your ipod...McGee"

Influences: Musical influences would be: Buddy Holly, The Beatles, John Lennon, Simon and Garfunkel, Paul Simon as a solo artist. Songs with a 50’s 60’s vibe and good melodies. Most of these influences probably all came from my Dads record collection when I was a kid. All cool Dads have good music taste, Think about it......
