With roots stretching from Cameroon to Chicago, Peter Jericho finds refuge in the studio writing music and performing on stage. He springs from a lineage of crooners of different musical descent and uses his music to biend rhythms and melodies of his African heritage with elements of today's struggle to create a beautiful sound that is entertaining as well as politically and socially conscious. Peter is the piece of the puzzle still in the box. Not overlooked, nor missing, just simply STILL in the box, A Douala Boy born in Chicago but raised by the world. His music blends African sounds with funk, jazz, and soul influences; his is a story of sound era-defining music from across two shores. Since Releasing "The New Normal" in 2020 Peter has amassed bodies of original recordings in both English and French and as a singer-songwriter written a multitude culturally authentic new songs.
