Alan Peter has been writing and producing music since he took up acoustic guitar at 16 years of age.
He was piano/keys player and co-songwriter with Irish alternative rock band Woodstar, who in 2001 signed with EMI Parlophone to release the critically-acclaimed EP Time To Bleed, produced by Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Doves). This was followed by Life Sparks LP in 2002, produced by Richard Rainey (U2, Clannad) and Stephen Street (The Cranberries, The Smiths, Blur).
In 2003 after Woodstar parted ways, Alan built a home studio and began to explore writing songs and instrumental pieces in diverse styles, with the intention of finding a home for them on the "Silver Screen". Since 2011 he has been distributing his music globally through a Norwegian publisher (http://www.shockwave-sound.com). Below is a link to an advert that features his music. This was aired many times on a Texas TV station over a three-week period in 2012. Alan also works closely with former Woodstar guitarist, Kieran Calvert (http://www.echoshell.net), who squabbles on a daily basis with the elves in a constant tyrannical battle to make it all sound just about right in time for tea.
