Peter Henry Fisk, b. 1985, is an American singer and instrumentalist. He began playing guitar at age nine, studying with Central Valley California's Craig Sorrenti and forming his first duo with Mom on the keys. By age thirteen, Pete had begun playing professionally around the Stockton and Modesto areas. At age sixteen, he was being recognized for his skills on the guitar, competing in different styles, and winning 1st prize at the Stairway to Stardom concert in 2002 with the rock group, Concrete Rose. In 2004, he received the Louis Armstrong Award and Most Outstanding Jazz Soloist Award as a member of the Escalon High School Jazz Ensemble.
Pete went on to study early music with guitar virtuoso, John Schneiderman, at the University of California, Irvine, where he earned his MFA. He was involved in a number of esteemed musical ensembles, including the UCI, OCC, & IVC Guitar Ensembles, and the Cal State Fullerton Orchestra. Meanwhile, he maintained a love and commitment to other traditions by attending blues, jazz, and folk jams around the state.
Since graduation, has Pete stayed busy as a professional musician, settling in as a singer with an extensive international tour schedule - opening act for Shine Delphi of Pennsylvania, Cowboy Diplomacy of Austin, TX and notable performances during the SXSW 2021 Festival at Native Hostel before Dave Chappelle. Though mostly a soloist now, Pete enjoys collaborating with other musicians often while sharing his one-man band arrangements of classics and original music.
