Peter John Whitmore
Disabled songwriter, with a passion for music and technology.
I returned to my love of music and discovered songwriting in 2024 aged 55, drawing on a life of experience and influences from folk, punk, indie, pop, jazz and loads more. This is my story, set to music.

My story, in two sides

One winters day morning, I decided to write the lyrics to my first song Really Me, then sing, and record it on my Mac.

The small print, up front
Made with technology
I write every lyric myself, then I spend months using suno.com and other tools to produce the music for them, the way another writer might use a studio band. It is part of the story, and technology is part of my DNA.
