   Pedro is an independent singer/songwriter with an
eclectic creative palette. It's hard to place him into one genre as he
has written Pop, Rock, Punk, Reggae, Portuguese music, Acapella, etc.
Born in Canada but lived in Portugal for several years as a child. That
experience influenced his unique style. Son of Portuguese immigrants
Pedro grew up listening to "fado" music sung by the glorious voice of
his mother. He considers her one of his biggest musical influences.
Surrounded by all types of music Pedro sang constantly as a
child. But it was during his final years of high school that Pedro
began exploring his talents. As a member of the acapella quartet "4
Vocal F.X." he performed at many community events including some shows
raising funds for various charities. They also recorded jingles for
radio and television. At the same time Pedro led a hard rock band
called "My Pet Fish Gus" which won the local battle of the bands in
1993. At this time he wrote many songs to record with the band. On top
of all this Pedro also led a local Portuguese band called "Malta Nova"
that played at many Portuguese parties.
In 2000 he became involved with the site MP3.com as an
internet artist promoter. His promotion group became #1 in the world by
the end of year 2001. However, with the changes/elimination of artist
royalty payments at the site MP3.com he decided to close down the
services in the beginning of 2003. This decision would give him more
time for family and to reinitiate his own musical career.
Pedro is an independent artist who writes, records,
performs, and produces his own music. Although his day job and family
are his number one priorities he continues to write and record new
material as he can. Thanks for dropping by his website!
