Conversations with Peter Mckeown

Today we’d like to introduce you to Peter Mckeown.

Hi Peter, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My full name is Peter Colin Mckeown and I was born on the 9th of July 1997 at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton, England.

So far, I have had a life full of ups and downs, mainly downs in my childhood but life always turns out for the better in the end, “If you put your mind in the right place, that’s what I have learned anyway”, growing up from a child to the man I am today has been a journey I will never forget and that is the whole point of my music, it’s to help people understand that no matter what you’re going through nothing, absolutely nothing is Impossible or unachievable, you’ve just got to be determined and keep pushing forward, no matter how hard it gets.

I have learned a lot over the years things I never thought I would have known at such ages, things I never thought I would have gone through at such ages and most of all “things I never thought I would have achieved at such ages when in the end I did.”

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Early on in my life, there are several things I am going to tell you, from being physically and verbally bullied growing up, to the loving home I was brought up in and the great times of my childhood.

From when I can remember I was 7 years old, I lived in a little two bedroom council flat with my mother “Margaret” and my father “Colin”, our home was a warm, comfortable and loving place to live in, my parents would always be there for me whenever I needed them, at the least and the most of times, they always taught me that in life you must take every opportunity that it throws at you, know matter how big/small the opportunity, I was brought up in Wolverhampton, which is an average sized city in “England” United Kingdom, I don’t remember much from the times we lived there, but I have been told a lot of story’s about when I was a child and growing up in the area, we had moved to different towns/city’s time and time again, from different areas of Wolverhampton to Telford then onto North Wales “Rhyl” which is where I live now, I can remember as far back as when we first moved into “Rhyl”, I’d never heard of the place to be quite honest and for sure I didn’t like here very much, but my parents wanted to move so of course I had to move with them, I was only 7 years old remember.

It was okay at first but then things started to go a little upside down with local bullies and schooling, which just got bloody worst over time, I use to sit in my bedroom for hours up on top on hours overthinking absolutely everything and anything I could think of, I was a good kid don’t get me wrong but when things got tough, they did get tough and I had to find away to escape from it all, I didn’t have a clue how though “Haha, I can laugh about it now but my gosh I wasn’t back then, things just got worst and worst as the days went by for me, you know the home was always a place that I enjoyed to be in, my parents didn’t know anything about the troubles I was going through as I didn’t want to worry them with anything I was going through, no matter how big or small they would be there but this stress would have been too much for them to handle so I thought, it would be better if I could just keep it to myself, that’s what I did.”

Everything started for me at the age of 7 years old, I had been previously living in England (Wolverhampton) and was the age of 6 years old, myself and my parents had moved to North Wales for a fresh new start in a new part of the United Kingdom, all was well for the first year of living here but then things had taken a turn for the worst, I had began to get bullied on a number of occasions, it started with verbal bullying, which turned to physical bullying, so my parents bought me my first battery keyboard to keep me at home where I was safe and no harm could come to me, I didn’t listen I just loved being out and about in the nature, to the point where it did stop was when I had my nose broken with a knuckle duster, and had a pistol gun put to my forehead threatening to kill me, this of course scared me very much which made me stay at home, this is when I found my passion for music, ever since the age of 7 years old I have been involved in the music industry and I love every moment of it, I had wrote a song named “Neverland” based on the story I have just told, bullying was heavily getting worst for me and stopped at the age of 15 years old after being hospitalised and needing urgent surgery to repair my face.

This is the story of how my passion for music was found.

We love surprises, fun facts, and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
Everything I write and produce is done by me only, as well as every song has a meaning behind it either to me or somebody else.
