Peter Buffett
Emmy Award-winning musician Peter Buffett has an acclaimed career that spans more than 28 years as a professional composer, musician, philanthropist and author.
From 1987 to present, Buffett has released 15 records, and has been signed to such labels as Narada, Epic and Hollywood Records. Most of his releases had been instrumental recordings until 2006 when Buffett began experimenting with vocals and a more eclectic pop/rock sound. His latest work combines elements of soft and progressive rock in the vein of Guster, Death Cab for Cutie and Beck.
Beyond music, social action and philanthropy are very important to Buffett. His work with numerous non-profit organizations and charities has made him into a well-known activist for social concerns and these messages play out through his music. His philanthropic work includes singles benefiting environmentalism, education and the elimination of human trafficking, as well as co-chairing his own foundation.
Buffett’s latest venture is his inspiring new book, Life Is What You Make It. Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, Life Is What You Make It is about following passions over conventions, transcending your circumstances or status, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living life to its fullest.
