Pete Fountain - bio

Born in Huntly New Zealand, Pete spent his early years in Te Kuiti and overseas in Scotland, before moving back to NZ where he attended Mt Maunganui College, and learned to surf and play guitar.

In 1999 Pete won the TV3 show Get Your Act Together, and as a result his song Sugar was released by Sony Music and featured on the TV series Shortland St.

In the following years Pete formed a handful of bands, such as Waikato group Jah'na, and under various names released numerous singles and played support to acts such as Bic Runga, Zed, Fur Patrol, and Shihad.

In 2005 Pete completed his debut album WILL and over the past year he has been busy recording the tracks at Big Note Productions for Indie label Nest Egg Records.

WILL was engineered and produced by Adrian Stuckey and Eddie Rayner (Split Enz). The first single titled Just For Today will be released on the July NZ on Air Kiwi Hitdisk and the video is due out mid June.
