Peanuthead Bio:

In January 2005, PEANUTHEAD created Funktional Beatz Productions. A small home based production company focusing not only on Music Production, but on Artist Promotion, CD Replication / Manufacturing, and Artist Development.



PEANUTHEAD born & raised in New York City has been interested in music since he was five years old when he got his first drum set. At age seven he formed a singing group named The Junior Jackson’s (Jackson Five tribute group) in New York City at PS 75 located on the upper West Side of Manhattan. Coincidently Mr. Kline A.K.A Gene Simmons from the legendary rock band “KISS” taught at this public school and would attend the group’s shows.



At ten years old PEANUTHEAD was the lead singer of his school music club at Dora L. Small Elementary School in South Portland, Maine putting on a solo performance in front of the entire town of about 7,000 people. For the next fifteen years PEANUTHEAD was in numerous garage bands that never really had committed members.



After moving to South Florida in 1997 & getting adjusted after a couple of years PEANUTHEAD tried his musician skills again when he was asked to join a Rod Stewart tribute band called Hot Rod, where he played the drums/back up vocals. After the band became virtually invisible to the public



PEANUTHEAD decided to take control of his own dream by producing and writing his own original music, writing & producing his first song in late 2002 called "NOW I KNOW"



PEANUTHEAD is continuously producing new tracks of all genres and available to collaborate or assist in any new music projects.
