Peter "King" Hong aka "Peter Rocks" is a Los Angeles based musician, producer and engineer that makes Los Angeles disc jockeys’ noses bleed. His work with Homestyle, a live LA-based hip hop band, shot him unlikely acclaim in 1999 as he played keyboards and began to produce for local LA-based artists.

Peter developed as a producer and engineer at LA’s Cherokee Recording Studios, where he learned under Andy Johns. Afterwards, he worked in several other studios, including Hollywood’s elite Fourth Street Recording Studio. While there, he came into his own as he was challenged by Jim Wirt, who has produced hits for Hoobastank, Incubus, Fiona Apple, and other successful artists.

As his own abilities continued to germinate, he became a member of the Recording Academy’s Producers and Engineers Wing and in 2002 founded Soniq Kwality Productions, a music production company committed to delivering fresh artistic and technical direction for today’s music market.

In 2006, Peter began touring worldwide with Quannum recording artist, Pigeon John. It was then when he would meet and work with heavy musical acts across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe.

Peter has toured, recorded, written, produced and engineered music for Pigeon John, Tatum Jones, Far East Movement, Roscoe Umali, Rootbeer, George Clinton, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Dan the Automator, The Pharcyde, Blackalicious, Cut Chemist, RJD2, Miho Hatori, Peeping Tom, Macromantics, and Of Montreal.

Umali exploded onto the hip-hop scene in 2007 with his hit single, Live it Up featuring Bobby Valentino and E40, which blazed up the charts to become the #1 independent record in the nation and the West Coast summer anthem. His debut album, The World’s Finest set to release in late 2008, also features collaborations with Talib Kweli, Colby O’Donis, The Federation, Murphy Lee and a host of other established artists and producers.

LA Weekly has called Pigeon John the “Fresh Prince of L.A.” Hailing from Inglewood in sunny Southern California, he never forgets to put on his LA FRESH. It is no doubt that PJ is an LA Ninja!, as he used to skateboard around the Great Forum as a youngster. He cut his teeth in the early 90’s at the legendary Good Life Café, spitting rhymes on the same stage with then fledgling, now established artists like Freestyle Fellowship, Kurupt, The Pharcyde and Jurassic 5.  Enamored by PJ’s infectious energy and raw talent exhibited on the Cali Comm tour, Lyrics Born brought Pigeon John into the Quannum fold in 2005. Look for his new project, “Rootbeer” with Flynn Adam in March of 2009.   PIGEONJOHN.COM
