Peter Buffett
Emmy Award-winning composer/musician Peter Buffett’s career spans more than 28 years. He is the creative mind behind many of the old school MTV logo bumpers of the 80’s and the climactic crescendos in the memorable “Fire Dance” scene in 1990’s Oscar winning film Dances with Wolves. While Peter remains behind the scenes as a composer of jingles, movie soundtracks, and atmospheric sound collections, it was only recently that he began experimenting with vocals and a more eclectic pop/rock sound. Peter’s lyrics explore the countless facets of a relationship from falling in love to losing love to moving on from love; while still incorporating his passion for social change. Peter’s latest album, Imaginary Kingdom, combines elements of soft and progressive rock with a contemporary vocal sound, channeling the unique pop sensibilities of Beck and Teenage Fan Club, the weightless harmonies of Elliott Smith and Matthew Sweet, and the dreamy pop/rock tromp of Guster or Death Cab For Cutie.
 Most recently, Peter is going to embark on a ‘Concert and Conversation’ tour. Buffett's ‘Concert and Conversation’ serves as an entertaining and informative look into the life of a man with a truly unique upbringing.
As the son of Warren Buffett, his open discussion about the lessons he's learned and their affect in creating the man he's become acts as a true testament that life is never a straight road. No matter what your background, Buffett's take on "earning your own reward" will find resonance with your own life story. The evening will include live performances of selections from Peter’s album releases including his latest, Imaginary Kingdom, punctuated with videos from his film/television work and philanthropic activities.
Kicking off last fall at The Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles, Peter has successfully taken this concept on the road to concert halls and universities around the country -- including Berklee College of Music, Syracuse University and Columbia University.
