Peter Edwards (aka Peter Edward Firk), British-born pianist and multi-keyboardist, is one of the early innovators of new age piano and contemporary instrumental soundscapes. His music sings of the paradise found in our oneness with the beauties of nature, and helps to awaken the 'secret oasis' within each of our hearts. Peter's CDs have been used in alternative health centers and creative visualization workshops to enhance the experience, and has been admired by audiences of all ages and races.

Peter Edwards (aka. Peter Edward Firk) was raised in the picturesque country town of Wallingford, England, just 50 miles northeast of the mystical Stonehenge. As a child he often played at Donnington Castle, a short walk from his home in Newbury, Berkshire. Born into a musical family, his father, brother and uncle played a wide variety of instruments, and his mother sang in local choirs. Peter began classical piano lessons at six years old.

At eight, he moved with his family to a hillside overlooking New Haven, CT. His childhood and upbringing were unique. His father, creator of the website Physics for Free, is the former Chairman of the Physics Dept. at Yale University. His mother, who passed in early 2017, took on the spiritual name of Padma (which means Lotus) when becoming an Integral Yoga teacher, and disciple of Sri Swami Satchidananda.

In his teens, Peter began playing the electric piano and organ in rock and blues bands, and went on to explore electric jazz improvisation with singer/composer/guitarist Michael Gregory and others. At seventeen, Peter began performing solo piano compositions to audiences throughout southern New England. In his twenties, his style evolved to new realms when co-founding the progressive New England-based New Music International Cultural Ensemble with master Afro-Caribbean percussionist and composer Michael Mills. Many world-class musicians performed with this innovative band including Henny Alvarez, Paul Mills, Michael
Rubinowitz and Marion Meadows.

Now in the 21st century, Peter has been integrating his natural lifestyle and meditation experiences more deeply into his music. Peter's music is a reflection of his connection to our Mother Earth ...t he warm sun, air and beautiful natural surroundings. Nature and his spirit-filled friends are constantly inspiring him to write new compositions.

Here's are some reviews of Peter’ previous CDs:

Peter has discovered how to use his piano to transmit peace." - Rudy Perez, 2005 Billboard Awards Latin Producer Of The Year and ASCAP Latin Songwriter of the Year
"Peter Edwards performs his own nature-inspired piano pieces that --- tranquil and reflective --- float in an instrumental spiritual reverie." - Natural Home Magazine
