Since the beginning of his musical career around 1987, he has been credited on numerous records from a diverse list of artists that includes Kylie, Sybil, Bananarama, Lisa Scott-Lee, Jason Donavon, and Rick Astley. He is also known for his audio engineering with songwriting/ production trio SAW. To date he is credited on 13 top ten hits; 6 of which reaching No. 1.
  He is a primary member of music production group/label Point4.
  He was born in 1970 in Merton, London, England, but brought up for the most part in Guildford, Surrey.
context_section_description: Pete began his career at PWL (now PWE) Studios in February 1987 as a Tape Operator; where he honed his skills using analogue systems. This first step into the music industry saw him editing recordings from Kylie's first tour of Japan, and within three years he had become Stock Aitken and Waterman's chief engineer. Throughout the next 3 years, he was involved in the recording and production of a variety of chart-hitting records; as well as recording theme tunes children's TV shows WWF and Power Rangers under the instruction of Simon Cowell  
  With the splitting of Mike Stock from Pete Waterman in 1993, Peter helped set up Stock's new London studio in Southwark at 100 Union Street, SE1. Pete then continued as his recording and mix engineer; accompanying such artists as Nicki French and Robson & Jerome in the studio. During this period he helped write and produce material for female vocalists Tatjana and Suzann Rye, as well as disco kings "Lovetrain".
  He spent some months at Unique recording studios in New York; after being asked by actor/ recording artist Idris Elba to remix tracks by hip hop group 'Dru Hill' and Sean 'P Diddy' Combs'. Elba suggested the production team adopt the name 'The London Boys' for the duration of the project, which they did. Pete disbanded with Mike Stock soon after.
  Subsequently, he re-emerged as one half of DysonDay productions ltd in 1999– Phil Dyson, a former assistant/ keyboardist of Mike Stock studios, completing the duo. The team remixed tracks for Madasun, Faithless, Dido, and Rob Dougan – including his club song, "Clubbed to Death", (which was later released under the Point4 banner). While getting DysonDay productions off the ground, he spent a year teaching studio recording techniques at the Academy of Contemporary Music, close to his home in Guildford.
