About Peter Senior

Peter Senior is a singer, songwriter from Australia. Coming from a musical family, early life involved singing around pianos, and performing in local musicals. Peter has had a passion for music his entire life.

Peter’s penchant for performing on the piano started to bloom in his senior year in high school, and he got his first taste of an adrenaline-fueled stage performance as a teenager. Passion for performance then led to regular gigs with groups around the greater Sydney area, with trips to Asia and live TV appearances. Early musical influences include the Beatles, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond and The Temptations. Peter is inspired by the careers of current Australian artists like Matt Corby and Gotye.

With one album done and ready to be fully unleashed Peter Senior is preparing for an all-out onslaught with the release of his new single “Cool Ride”. This track is a genre-busting grower bursting with subdued energy and retro finesse. Sleek and smooth vocals build into a powerhouse performance from Peter, a multi-faceted artist whose crossover style is a melting pot of country, melodic pop and jazz. Within the grooves of this three-minute slice of old school meets contemporary revelry is the song, first and foremost, a sardonic throwback mixing the sensual with the exuberant, merging amiable fun with a free-wheeling fervor. Just try to ignore those seductive brass lines, the lush vocals, and that late-night refrain, all nonchalantly delivered in a pure style reminiscent of Michael Bublè, Jamie Cullum, and Robbie Williams.
