| Peep the pics! Click here to view images from Peter Hadar's Memories Of The Heart. "Pete has developed into a great writer and dope artist, so keep a look out for Peter Hadar". - Eric Roberson "Not only does Hadar bring a new sound to this soul thing, he also brings a splash of style when it comes to gear". - Raheem DeVaughn "With just the right amount of heart, soul and edge, Peter Hadar IS the 'Coolest Weirdo'". - Rahsaan Patterson You may ask, why does such a talented dude call himself a "Cool Weirdo". If you spend any time with this "musical phenom", you will understand. Peter Hadar born Peter Winstead Jr. in Newark, New Jersey, enjoyed a middle class upbringing supported by his father, a well-known gospel musician and his doting mother who did whatever she could so that her child would not end up a statistic. Peter attended the best schools and grew under the tutelage of some of the most powerful ministers in the area. As Peter matured into manhood, he worked hard to dissipate from under the shadow of his father and make a name for himself outside of music. Although music was his first love, he did not want to do as expected; Peter focused on excelling in an equal passion--fashion. He developed quite a name for himself styling his musician friends for gigs, and became a master salesman working for top fashion brands as well as signature boutiques. He was fearless managing sales, colleagues, and trends; earning the name "Hadar", given to him by his uncle, a Hebrew Israelite. "Hadar" literally means "adornment", and in his case "to decorate or dress". As Peter progressed within the fashion industry, he kept his hidden love for music close to mind. In 2004, after riding the fashion rollercoaster, and losing one of his jobs, Peter sat back to reflect on his life and decide what he wanted for his future. He knew that he did not want to be subject to working for someone else for the rest of his life and knew he had enough talent to and determination to make it happen. This was a major turning point in his life where Peter learned that he also had the gift of "dressing music". Peter locked himself in his room and lyrics just started to flow out of his mind. He wrote, and wrote and wrote. About a year later, he finished his critically acclaimed debut album Memories Of The Heart. Utilizing his industry connections, he was also able to collaborate with and write for some of R&B's most respected artists including Joe, Chante Moore, Carl Thomas, and Eric Roberson, whom he also sang background for. Peter's slightly off-center fashion sense and analytical mind begot the name "Cool Weirdo" and also his unique music style. He eventually met up with producers Mike Genato (The G:neous) from the drum'n'bass duo Mathematics, and Montique a Houston-based producer who mastered one Peter's most revered tracks "You Don't Love Me", all three on their own singular vibe. Together, these musical scientists have concocted a formula that is unique, unrivaled, and distinctively Peter Hadar--a salacious mix of soul, R&B, electronica and glam-experimental flavor. To date, Peter's 2006 debut Memories Of The Heart has been nominated for numerous independent artist awards, and his single "First Sight" won Song Of The Year from Agape Music works. Peter's strong work ethic and even stronger musical prowess has enabled him to perform with powerhouses including Mos Def, QuestLove, Musiq, Raheem DeVaughn, Carl Thomas, Joe, Bilal and Chrisette Michelle, to name a few. Peter and Memories... have been critically acclaimed in a number of top on and offline magazines including Vibe, TRACE, Scheme, Dime, and Kingsize. His music is also on rotation on XMRadio, Music Choice, and BET J. Peter spends most of his time out on the road touring and developing his own showcase in and around New York City. In 2008 Peter Hadar was selected as one of URB Magazine's Next 100, a sampling of stellar artists expected to do big things. Peter is currently finishing up an EP Fresh Attire to be released Spring 2008, and his sophomore album in the fall. Ever the innovator, he is also working on a drum'n'bass album Mathematics Vs Peter Hadar due in 2008 as well. Drum'n'bass usually do not employ any vocals so this is a huge feat and warm welcoming by an energetic and hungry audience. An even stronger testament to Peter Hadar's standout appeal, is that his version of Bill Withers' "Lean On Me" produced by G:neous was selected as the lead single for "Souvenirs"--a cover album developed specifically for distribution in Borders bookstores. With all of this music in the works, Peter is actively engaged in his 2008 International Take-Over, fully intent on seducing the world with his version of love, life and "Cool Weirdo" music. Check out Peter Hadar's zine clip from URB's 2008 Next 100 list. |
