St. Paul Peterson is a multi-faceted musician whose talents as a singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist have cemented his place in the realm of respected industry veterans. Emerging from a musically-rich background in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Peterson was swiftly thrust into the limelight as a teenager, joining Prince's ensemble The Family in the mid-1980s. With The Family, he contributed to the group's self-titled album, which included the original version of the hit "Nothing Compares 2 U," later famously covered by Sinead O'Connor. His connection to Prince's Paisley Park label set the stage for a fruitful and varied career.

Exhibiting a chameleonic musical ability, Peterson has adeptly navigated through genres including funk, soul, and jazz, both as a solo artist and as a collaborator with other musicians. His solo releases, featuring the soulful "Break on Free" and the heartfelt "A Different Kind of Christmas," showcase his knack for storytelling and melodic craftsmanship. Additionally, live sessions like "Jam in the Van" underscore his dynamic presence and ability to connect with audiences in real-time. Fueled by a passion for performance and a dedication to his craft, St. Paul Peterson's contribution to music is marked by authenticity and an indefatigable spirit.
