Bicoastal and biracial this Portland, Oregon native has established a reputation for clever, intelligent songwriting, and speaker-cracking production in New York City’s underground hip-hop community.
Half-Chinese and half-White, Pete identified with the counter culture qualities of hip-hop in the late eighties. His early immersion in Portland’s b-boy scene prompted him to develop skills not only as an MC, but also as a producer, DJ and graffiti writer, and inspired the creation of Ho-Made Media, his record label and design company.
In 1999 Arista artist, Dido recruited him as the DJ in her live band. With Dido, Pete toured the world, appeared on numerous television shows and began work on 'Radio Free Brooklyn', his critically acclaimed 2002 solo album.
