About Me


Support yourself by supporting a songwriter!
Peter Charles Prasa He’d say he wasn’t born for these times, but everyone he’s touched is grateful for his life and times. All looking forward to more…Like so many songwriters, he’s taken life experiences and has put them to words with powerful melodic explosions of depth level headedness with a dash of confusion, which somehow figures out in the end of most of his works. Playing all the instruments in the studio, he is very versatile but always inviting friends and other musicians to join him. Harmonies are always available which can sooth and create a sense of being there. The music lives on and has been written about lost love, found love, heaven, pain, even a recipe for Banana Bread, which lyrically can be used step by step to bring the bread to a warm scent of loves delight .Country , Adult Alternative ,Christian Contemporary , World Instrumentals, it all varies. “All the Answers” deals with the sudden loss of his father and can be felt by anyone bereaving a loss but answers the loss with a positive reassurance of faith and love. His fathers first guitar, left in the basement in Hillside NJ, where Peter made his home his teenage years, became his first tool to write songs. From camping with friends with “Skunk up a Tree” which was a little ditty specifically written for singing at the campfire (never recorded…yet) to first loves testosterone testing his vocal range and fingering exercises.“Angels Breath” was an honorable mention from VH-1 and can be Interpreted as your guiding angel in heaven or on earth in the form of your wedding partner.” Angels Breath “as well as “Eternally Yours” have been requested and performed at weddings by the artist and other performers for such occasions. “Model Your Beauty” relates the beautiful model trying to act, sing or anything else to help her career but finds that she can’t do anything but model her beauty. In the picking style of Lindsey Buckingham , David Bromberg , overtones of Warren Zevon , Buffalo Springfield , Lowell George , Jackson Browne ,The Everlys ,John Paul George , Runt , Bob Dylan and the Band just to mention a few of his influences . He’s been in the field of music for 20 plus years as the owner of Pianos Plus Music Center in Green Brook, NJ. He is also the piano technician for the company. While tuning pianos, some of his compositions are being crafted creatively. He can’t help that creative part of him. “Everything has a song in it and every emotion creates those melodies”.
