Peter Davyduck:Biography

Peter Davyduck. The Bass playing Professional A transplant to the West Coast from the prairies, Peter Davyduck has begun to fill a niche in the Christian recording industry in the Vancouver area. Born and raised in Alberta, Peter began his bass journey in High School after switching from tenor sax. The ensuing years were filled with cover bands and the continuing effort to teach himself to play the electric bass.

After some time in the Okanagan and a brief stay in Victoria BC, Peter moved to Langley BC, a suburb of Vancouver where his career really began. Through friends at the Langley Vineyard church, Peter recorded two CDs for Vineyard Music Canada "Believe" and "All I Need", both of which have gone on to sell more than 75,000 units each in the U.S.. It was through these projects that Peter met and played with worship leaders Graham Ord and Dove Award winner Brian Doerksen.

Peter's work with Graham Ord has resulted in the CDs "An Offering","Waiting", "I Am", "Regarding the Maker" and a great blues CD the duo did with their father's entitled "The Blessed Misfits, A Good Day for the Blues". As well as extensive gigging throughout Candan and the US.

With Brian Doerksen, Peter has toured Canada along with many local and international conferences as well as Brain's latest release for Integrity Records "Today" which also has a companion live DVD of the recording. With Vineyard Music Canada Peter has also recorded vol.3 and vol.4 of the "Coming Home" series of CDs which feature his upright work.

2005 saw the completion of Peter's first solo effort "Blue Light Music vol.1" which showcases an all bass (Music Man basses that is) recording with some 'fun' drum loops added in for stability. ;^)

As well as keeping a busy freelance gigging schedule, Peter also teaches bass privately and has contributed interviews and articles to such websites as ActiveBass.com and to the magazine Inside Worship.

Besides bass, Peter is the proud father of Abigail and Coltrane and the ever "trying to be ever more competent[ie.dishwashing friendly and bathroom cleaning]" husband to Shelley. All of whom reside in lovely Langley BC Canada.
