Born July 11, 1983, in New York City. Singer/pianist Peter burst onto the jazz music scene with his eponymous debut CD in 2003, one of the more skilled of the new generation of crooners. A piano prodigy, Cincotti ably showed showcased his chops on the debut CD, with a mix of standards and originals, carefully selected by him and producer Phil Ramone. Not content to be pigeonholed, Cincotti's sophomore effort, 2004's On the Moon showed him expanding his horizons both musically and personally, with a broader mix of styles (from a funk rendition of Bali h'ai from South Pacific to a poignant cover of Ray Charles' You Don't Know Me). Now signed to Warner Records and working with mega-producer, David Foster, Peter's third CD, the newly titled East of Angel Town, which is set for release in early 2007 will mark yet another departure as it will be his first release of all original material, all of the songs written or co-written by him and featuring another diverse mix of styles, ranging from ballad to blues to funk, yet always undercored by his considerable jazz talent and piano skills.

(Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II)
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night and any day,
In your heart you'll hear it call you,
"Come away, come away"
Bali Ha'i will whisper,
On the wind of the sea,
"Here am I your special island"
"Come to me, come to me"
Your own special hopes,
Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside,
And shine in the streams
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Your own special hopes,
Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside,
And shine in the streams
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Come to me
Come to me
