After Renaissance man Pete Muller conquered Wall Street by revolutionizing the way it works through applied mathematics, he hit the New York City Subway to return to his passion for music. He played his piano and sang, testing out his original compositions for passersby, and joined a weekly songwriters’ circle. He even spent time studying at NYU’s Tisch School as he honed his craft.
After releasing a pair of early albums, he got married, moved to California, returned to the business he’d founded, and became a father, but he never lost that love for music.
In 2014, he returned to the studio to record his third album and was introduced to Avatar Studios, which, under its original name of The Power Station, had hosted the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, David Bowie, and Bob Dylan. At the time, the studio was under threat of being sold and redeveloped as condos, so Muller decided to use his resources in partnership with the City of New York and the Berklee College of Music to save, renovate, and re-launch it as a world-class recording and educational facility.
As a result, he met Rob Mathes, with whom he worked on multiple other albums there over the years. Around the same time, he founded the non-profit Live Music Society to provide no-strings-attached grants to independent music venues around the country.
Muller is now on his sixth album, More Time, which was recorded in Memphis. It shows off his grittier rock and soul side—all while staying true to his open-hearted songwriting.
The uber-successful businessman, philanthropist, and talented musician graced the LifeMinute Studios to talk about his music and play some songs off the record released earlier this year.
