Peter Holmstedt – Principal

BEMU’s principal, Peter Holmstedt, is a bassist and a huge Star Wars fan. After attending Berklee College of Music’s Summer Performance Program in 1992, his musical education has largely consisted of playing with and learning from others through countless bands and guest performances with various artists. Performing together with others in real-life situations — creating and being present in the moment — has been his greatest driving force and explains why he has explored so many different styles and genres over the years. Artists Peter has performed with in concerts, clinics, or recordings include Eric Gadd, Morgan Ågren, Dan Reed, Jojje Wadenius, Conny Bloom, La Gaylia Frazier, Papa Dee, and many others. He currently performs primarily with the group P-Floyd.

David has also co-written songs for feature films and numerous radio advertising jingles. He considers The Beatles his religion and occasionally performs as The Living Beatles Jukebox, while also appearing as “Benny” in the ABBA tribute band Super Trouper.
