Singer/Songwriter born and raised in Liverpool, England.



Pete Riley has been playing music ever since he can remember, He played his first gig in Liverpool doing Beatle covers at the age of 12, He then went on to play in numerous bands touring the British Isles, through the late 80s and early 90s. In Late '96 his band Treehouse decided to try their luck in the USA, They were strongly advised against it as it would be a costly mistake, but they went ahead regardless with the loyal backing of their then manager Dan Priest and set off for America.



After grinding it out in the venues of Los Angeles (Whiskey Ago go, The Troubadour etc.) word got around about the band from Liverpool as fate may have it, on a scheduled day off, they were invited to play an impromptu gig at Borders Book Store sunset strip, the boys amazingly landed themselves a record deal with Atlantic records.



Pete toured the USA through 1997 firstly with Treehouse who went on to release their debut album "Nobody's Monkey" and continued on in America until 2000 opening for many USA National bands' too many to mention, Sadly Treehouse split up and went their separate ways at the end of 2001 after one last final tour opening for The Cranberries in the UK.



Pete then went on to tour solo acoustic in the UK and Ireland, On release of his first solo album "After The Parade" Pete was invited back over to the USA to open for the American platinum selling artist Edwin McCain whom he had struck up a solid friendship with, After opening for a couple of months he was then asked by Edwin to join his band (EMB) as a permanent member.



He has been writing/recording and producing with a lot of different artist from all over the world, but mainly in the USA. e.g. Edwin McCain, Narada Michael Walden, Maia Sharp, Angie Aparo, Kevn Kinney, Henry Priestman UK (The Christians), Deadmono (Sweden) and most recently Amy Wadge.



He has also co-written with Edwin McCain on his last three Albums (Austin Sessions) (Scream And Whisper) the single release (Say Anything) was co-written by Pete with Edwin McCain and Maia Sharp.



Pete has done numerous TV appearances in the USA VH1, CBS Good Morning America, and recently BBC 1 The Politics Show UK, Pete's songs also feature in the Warner Bros TV drama "Jack and Bobby" and internationally released 2010 Miley Cyrus Disney Movie "The Last Song".



Pete has been touring acoustic in the UK with Henry Priestman and has co-written 2 tracks with Henry for his new album which will be released on Universal Records due for release 2011.



Pete's most recent project is a duo collaboration with singer/songwriter Amy Wadge who is originally form Bristol but is now based out of Cardiff, after playing a bunch of shows and writing together they soon realised there was a special chemistry between them both, hence they have decided to embark on an Amy Wadge/Pete Riley duo album which will be scheduled for release early 2011 and backed by a tour of the UK.
