“This new digital age of the music business is fascinating,” says Michael Peterson. “When I was releasing music in the 90s, I remember sitting in a room with the label executives talking about what record stores we had to visit to sign CDs to create the buzz on a new album. Now, its all virtual and digital. The technology is amazing, and I really like how quickly the fans can hear and learn about new music.”
Michael Peterson continues to tour worldwide, performing concerts and connecting with audiences through speaking engagements that reflect his passion for music and storytelling. He is also currently in the studio working on new music, with plans to release an upcoming project in the near future.
