Originally from Portland, Oregon, Pete Miser has been b-boying, bombing, backspinning and battling since hip hop first took seed in the Northwest. As lead vocalist in the live hip-hop band 5 Fingers Of Funk, he helped bring hip hop out of hiding in his hometown and into the limelight. He has traveled the world with his music both as a solo artist and as the dj for Arista recording artist Dido, appearing on Late Night with David Letterman and the MTV Video Music Awards. He currently makes his home in Brooklyn, NY where he is equally busy on the mic, in the studio and on the turntables.
Pete’s latest full-length, Camouflage Is Relative, picks up where his 2002 release, Radio Free Brooklyn left off. The album sets him apart from standard issue m.c.s by exploring themes as diverse as gentrification, lost love and American politics. Pete’s unique, sometimes quirky perspective shines through in his vividly insightful lyrics and a performance style that is “as much fun as hearing stories from that one friend who has seen it all,” according to YRB Magazine. Coupled with sophisticated song arrangements and neck-snapping beats, Camouflage Is Relative is a new school throwback to an era when hip hop was a thinking man’s house party.

“His sound brims with musical fire… "Camouflage Is Relative" is one of the best independently released hip-hop albums of the year.” -Newsday.com
"In a scene where the battle cry is about independence and "keeping it real," Pete Miser stands out as an m.c./producer who takes these values to the extreme. As the owner of his own record label (Ho-Made Media) Pete is responsible for every aspect of his projects, from production to creative design to promotion…"
