Piete

Keyboardist, Song Writer & Lead Vocalist

About Me

I have been Writing, Producing, Singing and Playing Keyboards professionally since 1980. I have performed with the likes of The Whispers, Natalie Cole, Club Nuevo, The Dazz Band, Cameo, Confunkshun, Vesta Williams, Miki Howard, Brother’s Johnson, Tease, Al Wilson, Tower of Power and most recently G.Q., and many many others. I am currently performing in nightclubs and other venues to keep my chops sharp while working on my solo Smooth Jazz CD. You can catch me playing with two of the hottest top40 dance bands in southern Calif... "No Limit" is a high energy funk, R&B, Classic Rock and Latin grooves band that does old school as well as new while "The Best Of Times" is a classic rock and dance band with 5 piece vocal harmonies that will knock your sox off. Both bands are in high demand playing to sold out crowds and packed venues wherever they perform.
In addition to being a musician, I am also a graphic artist. I have posted a few of my drawings in my photo section and will soon be splitting my website to showcase both my music and my art as well as selling both.
