He began his musical education at 4 in the local music school of his hometown, Hajdúböszörmény in Hungary. He was considered a musical prodigy by teachers and peers, and was already accepted at Franz Liszt University of Music in Debrecen, despite he was still being enrolled at elementary school. At 7 he wrote his first composition, and at 11 he published his first solo piano album of his early compositions. In his teens, Peter started to show great interest in film music, which has opened up a new world for him. After his training in classical piano and composition in Hungary, he continued his studies as a scholar at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA as a film scoring and piano major.
He was also awarded a Guinness World Record for being the “Fastest Piano Player” and has been often referred to as a musician who not only revolutionizes the way piano is played, but continues to influence new generations of pianists and musicians to come. His live performances are attracting thousands around the world. In recent years, he has toured in more than 45 countries on 4 continents, now in Montreal.
