Peter Crighton

Peter Crighton is a multi-instrumentalist musician and music engraver living in Mainz, Germany.
Born and raised in Münster he was surrounded by music all his life and picked up cello as his first instrument at the age of 6, later followed by bass guitar at 11 and guitar at 13, which are his two main instruments now, all the while singing (mostly backings) in several bands and a church choir in his hometown.
In 2009 he moved to Mainz to study jazz and popular music at the College of Music, but abandoned his studies one year later to move on to a study of media engineering. During this time, though, he felt such a strong call for making music his day job that he quit university again and is now a freelance musician and music engraver since 2012. In 2014 he obtained a certificate as a church musician for popular music.
