Peter Prince - Biography In the past 15 years, Peter Prince has taken his musician's soul and filmmaker's eye from Central America to South Pacific, India to Alaska and beyond, but his greatest inspiration is rooted close to home. Peter's songwriting takes us on a journey that is inspired by B.C's oceans, mountains and natural beauty. His first CD, Sea of Dreams (1987), is the perennial favorite of many visitors to Salt Spring Island's Saturday Market, where Peter is regularly featured. It explores his connection to the spirit of First Nations people and the islands of B.C. On Roaring From the Soul of A Lion (1993), he puts his poetry to music that celebrates life while rebelling against a materialistic society. In Whispering Rain (1998), he offers an acoustic feast for the ears as the music flows from his well traveled guitar, harmonica and hearty vocals. The CD features Tara MacLean's vibrant vocal harmonies and Oool Fjolkunnigr's flair for ethnic instrumental touches. People have told Peter that they find his music soothing and healing. Some of the songs dealt with his feelings overcoming a life threatening illness. In 2002 he completed his fourth CD - Light Dance - an all-instrumental collection of original compositions blending eastern and western cultures, Folk and World Music styles. A graduate of Ryerson University, with a Bachelor of Technology in Motion Picture Arts, he has produced and directed award-winning films and had his work broadcast nationally on CBC TV and on networks in over 50 countries. As community programmer at Saltspring TV he produces a weekly two hour program, aired locally on Cable Channel 12. In November 2003 he will be traveling to the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan to shoot a natural history film for the International Crane Foundation.
