He holds Platinum and Gold records along with four Guinness World Records (for most cameras used in a concert recording) while producing with talent such as Rage Against the Machine, Guns & Roses, Chickenfoot, Slash, Stone Temple Pilots, and more. Peter began his career as a recording artist and nationally touring singer/songwriter. Before Co-Founding EMI-distributed label, DC3 Music Group, Mr. Bowers was the Executive Producer of the feature film '77, a film produced by Gary Kurtz (American Graffiti, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back) and Fred Roos (Godfather II, Apocalypse Now, Lost In Translation). '77 is a romantic comedy illustrating the story of Hollywood visual effect greats and film legends of early ILM, through the experience of a young man's pursuit of his dreams and the filmmakers that shaped them. '77 was an award-winning picture at the Hamptons International Film Festival. In 2010, Mr. Bowers produced "The Rage Factor: Rage Against the Machine Live from London" with Cinematography by Academy Award Nominee Jeff Cronenweth. The event was to win the UK's #1 Christmas song contest vs. a Simon Cowell protégé from the popular UK show "X-Factor". This included a social marketing campaign that resulted in one million followers worldwide, selling over half million downloads for Rage and attracting worldwide media. While the campaign was begun by a Rage fan's dedicated Facebook page, the DC3 team grabbed the baton and brought victory home with a nimble and timely live TV broadcast from a Burbank soundstage. Bowers is a partner at Self Made Records, a DIY Indie Rock label started in the UK based in LA, and distributed via Sony Red. He's responsible for developing a MCN from a new mobile app and trans media campaign, via an advanced distribution platform that connects concerts, broadcasts and theatrical premieres live to the world.
