Peter Vantine
- Composer
- Soundtrack
As soon as he played the first notes of King of the Road at age 7,
Peter Vantine knew then he would continually be put on the spot to play
piano for friends and family members wherever he went. Thankfully, this
did not deter him from a career in music (although the hands get pretty
tired during the Christmas season). Peter grew up in a very musical and
artistic family, and it was inevitable that something would eventually
rub off.
His first concert experience was at age 8 and he continued to perform regularly during his childhood. He studied with numerous piano and compositions teachers, each one providing something unique to his musical education (something for which Peter is very grateful). He earned his Bachelor of Music degree (Film Scoring and Music Production) from Berklee College of Music and a Masters of Music degree (Music Education) from Boston University.
After graduating from Berklee, Peter enjoyed an extensive career in music for media, including working with Segue Music (Los Angeles), teaching in the Berklee College of Music Film Scoring department, producing numerous multimedia projects with The JLR Group, winning the grand prize for the 2001 Turner Classic Movies Young Film Composers Competition, and running his own music production business and commercial recording studio.
Today, an accomplished pianist and award-winning composer, Peter has received acclaim from audiences across the nation for his versatility and evocation of emotion and spirit through music. From choral to rock band, symphonic film music to synth programming, Peter continues to explore the many possibilities in just about every musical style. Peter strives for the highest caliber in both production and musical inventiveness as he truly seeks to "touch the heart." Building and nurturing relationships through music is vital to Peter and is often captured in the sounds he creates.
