Having toured extensively with the likes of Jay Sean, Foreign Beggars and Diversity and showcasing his unique approach to beatboxing and music creation at many of the countries major festivals in 2010, THePETEBOX has carried momentum in full swing into 2011.

This has set the foundations for THePETEBOX’s first studio album, which is near to completion and will be ready for release in 2012. To accompany the album approach, Pete’s innovative live set has evolved further still and now features the use of effects, more loopers and a guitar to build layers into fully crafted tracks, integrating his winning beatbox skills with the new setup with stunning results.

Despite his hard work on the album, this year Pete has already played all around the UK, Poland, Ayia Napa, Spain, France, Czech Republic, Belfast, another victorious Glastonbury set and his recent UK headline minitour saw him sell out venues in Nottingham and London. Mid July saw him warm up a 2000 strong Ayia Napa crowd for Chase and Status and he’s already rocked a handful of uk festivals.

The coming summer will see him play Leeds/Reading Festival, V Festivals, BugJam, a host of other festivals and p.a’s around the country.

Petebox has performed at over 50 student show appearances to date including may/summer balls, promotional events and solo appearances and always focus’ on freshers months as a highlight of his year, as Pete himself said in a recent interview: ‘You can’t beat a freshers show or any uni event. Everyone’s always so up for a party and everything seems to go down that little bit harder and the response always that little bit larger!’
