Pete Goslow is a seasoned professional Classical Guitarist, Singer Songwriter, DJ, Emcee and Recording Artist/Sound Engineer. He has been performing professionally for over 20 years at the finest and most prestigious locations in CA, “although there is nothing more intimate & charming than a backyard wedding or party”. Live performances as well as recordings of his original songs have been broadcast on TV and radio. He performed during a wedding on the taping of the hit Bravo realty show Top Chef which aired March 2010. He has appeared on “Daybreak OC” KDOC Live TV morning show as featured music guest. Recent highlight performances include: presidential, state senator, governor receptions and parties, major award shows, private celebrity parties (recently hired by Michael Eisner and his lovely wife Jane to perform privately at their home in Bel Air), singing National Anthem at professional sport games, as well as warming up for such pop artists as Lisa Loeb and Olivia Newton-John. On numerous occasions he has performed during private dinners prepared personally by Chef Wolfgang Puck who jokingly refers to Pete as “guitar guy”!
Pete received his bachelor of performance degree in classical guitar from Chapman University Conservatory of Music in 1993. During his classical training, he was a member of the highly acclaimed Chapman University Guitar Quartet, who released a CD and toured throughout the Western United States. He has performed classical guitar in master classes for world-renowned artists such as Manual Barrueco, Carlos Barbosa-Lima, and David Russel. Chapman University is known for its vocal program - which he took full advantage by studying voice with some of the top vocal teachers in North America. Upon graduating from Chapman, he moved to Los Angeles and began performing full time.
He recorded and released his well received first solo classical guitar album “Love’s Passion” in 2000. He release his debut Singer Songwriter album “Leave It All Behind” in 2008.
As a singer songwriter, Pete was influenced as a child by folk legends of the seventies, “his fathers music”. As a teenager his love for progressive rock inspired him to take the job as lead singer of his high school rock band “Vital Signs” (there were concert videos: plenty of embarrassing “Behind the Music” material).
“I enjoy the living I have carved out for myself as a working class Musician, DJ & Emcee, never taking one single job for granted. I feel truly blessed and take great pride in every wedding or corporate function I play. Over the years, many of my clients have become close friends and loyal fans. Meeting and working with so many different and diverse couples, families, planners and vendors helps make every performance experience special in its own unique way - I truly love my job!”
