Pete's CD "Glory" was recorded over six days at Sapphire Studios in Abbotsford, BC. It was engineered and produced by the multi-talented, Juno Award nominated Chris Janz who played bass, keyboards, electric guitars, and did backing vocals. The CD also features Rachel Campbell singing lead vocal on three songs. The album covers a wide range of musical styles from the tribal feel of "From Glory Unto Glory", to the anthem-like "We Seek Your Face", to the hard-rocking "You Are Holy", and everything in between.
The songs on the album were written over the past six years and were inspired by the teaching at Pete's home church. The songs include praise and worship, and songs of confession.
Pete was born on January 5, 1965, in a little town in northern Finland, called Kuusamo, just a few miles from the Russian border. Just before the age of two, Pete's family moved to Toronto, Ontario, where they lived for six years. The family then moved to Langley, British Columbia, where Pete grew up and finished school.
Pete has been involved in church music and song writing since 1979. He started playing guitar in his church youth group and later joined a Christian rock band, Zion. Pete also played bass for his church's youth choir and was involved in recording an album with them. That was Pete's first experience in a recording studio. After that, Pete drifted away from playing music publicly for several years.
Pete got involved in worship music in 1998 playing bass and guitar for his home church. He began leading worship and writing worship songs in 1999. He has a passion for leading people into the manifest presence of God and seeing the Holy Spirit work in their lives. God has a definite anointing and call on his life to minister through music.

"The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and skill [the preceding and the first essential, the prerequisite and the alphabet]; a good understanding, wisdom, and meaning have all those who do [the will of the Lord]. Their praise of Him endures forever."
"Acquaint now yourself with Him [agree with God and show yourself to be conformed to His will] and be at peace; by that [you shall prosper and great] good shall come to you.
Receive, I pray you, the law and instruction from His mouth and lay up His words in your heart.(A)
If you return to the Almighty [and submit and humble yourself before Him], you will be built up; if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents,
If you lay gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brook [considering them of little worth],
And make the Almighty your gold and [the Lord] your precious silver treasure,
Then you will have delight in the Almighty, and you will lift up your face to God. "
