I DON'T KNOW (LOVE AGAIN) is the much anticipated debut single by the artist PETE. The song is a slow jam with some serious bite, and was heavily influenced by musicians such as John Mayor and the artist formerly known as Prince. "This song is dedicated to my 3 siblings. Each of which has experienced heartbreak over the past year." - Pete.
In January of 2020 Pete began work on his first solo endeavour, a “Pop Music Study.”. A bi-weekly release of new singles released on major streaming services globally. By working with various writers, musicians, and producers across the globe, Pete created “a smorgasbord of [his] own authentic style…”
Now a collection of 26 demos and 13 official releases, this “Study” has created a prolific and diverse portfolio for Pete to play and grow artistically. “The Cult She Set” plays with modern sounds and gains inspiration from current names like Adele, and Sam Smith. While other “classic” artists, such as Stevie Wonder and Prince, have leaked into the tunes “Adam Brings It” and “That Boy.”
With collaboration of over 20 musicians, Pete’s “Pop Music Study” was a huge personal and public success. Originally a project of self betterment, it has now become a method of self enjoyment for many new and loyal fans.

STARS IN THE DESERT is the 4th much loved single from the East Coast singer PETE.
