Name: Peter Lee Johnson
Age: 20
From: Seattle, Washington, USA
What he does: Musician
As I was searching for an instrumental of Travie McCoy's 'Billionaire' earlier today, I came across an incredible violin cover of the song a young man from Seattle, Washington. Judging by the skill and obvious passion, this lad definitely lives and breathes his art.
Most of Peter's videos consist of covers of old and newer popular and not so known music, as well as song mash ups done with unusual song combinations [such as 'Meet Me Half Way' by The Black Eyed Peas and Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing'] that work exceptionally well together.
Peter has been playing violin since the age of four and hasn't stopped since. In fact, he is currently studying Popular Music Performance at USC and is top of his class! In addition to the violin, he plays keys- notably for an L.A based R&B, Funk band called The Beat Advocate [Check em' out also!] and enjoys producing.
I quite enjoy listening to his song renditions, especially the mixes. More than anything, I admire his skill and only wish I could play half as good as he can, haha!
