I'll admit to having 2 gold records. I also have a platinum one. These are due to playing with Tom Cochrane. My primary instrument is keyboards. I'm playing drums too. All those years of playing drums on my knees and feet seem worth it.
I've produced lots of indie artists, and sold thousands of CD's with indie artists that I've played with and wrote and sang for.
In 2020 I decided to go out on my own. We released That's A Sign to radio in Canada in 2022 and it did OK. In Canada if you don't have the backing of a record label you're pretty well screwed. C'est la vie. Cheers. Pete
