Peter Holt

British composer, Peter Holt is a passionate musician whose claim to fame is the UK’s youngest artist
to cut a vinyl album, which he did at just 12 years of age with Grosvenor Records. He began music
lessons aged 6 and he studied classical piano, music theory and jazz organ at Leeds College of
Music at 11. He went on to win Organist of the Year competitions in both the UK and USA aged 16.
He studied under Nicholas Haines, inventor of the Haines Music Laboratory and musician Nigel
Ogden who has been a weekly BBC Radio 2 presenter for the last 35 years. Peter began his career
as a demonstrator for Hammond organs and pianos and has toured the UK, Europe and USA
performing solo concerts on almost every type of keyboard instrument, both classical and
contemporary.
Peter has played in concert at many prestigious venues such as Manchester’s Free Trade Hall which
was broadcast live on BBC Radio 2. He’s even played live on Blackpool Tower’s Wurlitzer – home of
BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing finals. So far, Peter has now performed around 2,500 concerts all over
the world.
His latest album ‘Another Time’ brings together all his experience and musicality to produce
soundscapes that evoke a relaxing mood on the listener. Peter compares his work to an artist
applying delicate brushes and colours on a canvas.
