About Me

Hi everybody,My name is Peter Knoll. I am a free lance guitarist and relocated to New York City from Berlin (Germany) in 2004. I was very fortunate and won a Green Card, which allows me to stay and work in the US.Growing up in a small village in Bavaria (Germany) I came across the guitar at the age of 8. As a teenager I started a band with on school buddy of mine. It was a thrilling experience. After a few years we had this 10-piece Funk/Rock/Jazz band and we ended up playing in front of 4000 people as an opener for the Billy Cobham band.After that I decided to become a professional musician. I enrolled at the Guitar-Institute of Munich and went on to Berklee College of Music, were I graduated in '95. I gained a lot of experience in playing in various bands in almost every style of music and participating in different recording sessions.Since 2000 I started out with my Avantgarde Solo-Project (Experimental Music) in which I mix Blues, Jazz and Oriental Music.
