Like bricks and mortar Peter Young has built his career as a drummer and producer one song at a time. On stage or in the studio, Peter brings his broad-based background into the mix.
Peter was born in the mid 60s in Saratoga Springs, New York. He took to the drums at age 7, and then throughout his school days he studied privately and performed in diverse settings, including drum & bugle corps, summer stock theater, and live gigs with country, pop, jazz and rock groups. By the mid 80s Peter began working professionally the upstate NY area.
In 1991 Peter relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, and immediately starting to tour with Atlantic Recording artist Robin Lee (“Black Velvet”), opening shows for nearly every major country artist of the time. After this successful introduction, Peter gigged with Country artist’s Ricky Van Shelton, Bob Woodruff, Chely Wright , Brett James and rocker Walter Egan among many other gigs through the 90's. Peter joined the Loretta Lynn tour in 1997 and toured with her for 5 years, always returning to Nashville between tours to hustle up showcase gigs and recording sessions.
In 2001, Peter decided to get off the road, and focus on session work and producing. Peter launched an internet drum tracking business “ Nashville Drum Tracks”. Even as his local clientele grew, the response to online ads skyrocketed, prompting Peter to quickly add full custom audio production to his services for songwriters and artists around the world. It was during this time that Ultra Audio Productions was born.
“Collaborating with clients via the internet has become the norm,” says Peter. “Working with talented people from all over the world to bring their songs to a new level, gives me a satisfaction that I never thought would be possible. “The music is just a mouse-click away and I can work with someone in London or Los Angeles as easy as I can with someone right here in Nashville.”
Now, over two decades after arriving in Nashville, the building blocks of Peter’s success have become a new home – the Nashville home for songwriters, artists and producers around the world. With Peter’s easy manner and diversity of experiences, he offers a uniquely personal and cost-effective opportunity to collaborate with the creative culture of Music City.
