Peter Zizzo is an Emmy and Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer whose work has sold in excess of one hundred million records worldwide.
He has written / produced worldwide hit songs for, and with, artists including Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Jason Mraz, Billy Porter, Brie Larson, M2M, Pixie Lott, BeBe and CeCe Winans (Grammy Winner: Best Gospel Album), and many, many more. His songs have also been featured in many major films and television shows.
As a talent developer, he was instrumental in the early careers of Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton, Billy Porter, and Pixie Lott.
As a composer for children’s television, he has written and produced the theme songs for hit Nickelodeon’ shows like “Blue’s Clues and You," "Rusty Rivets," "Middle School Moguls," and "Fresh Beat Band of Spies", and countless other songs for TV shows including "Peter Rabbit” (Emmy Nominee: Best Original Song), "The Fresh Beat Band” (Emmy Winner: Best Musical Composition / Direction) "Winx Club,” “Norman Picklestripe,” and many others.
Recently, Peter’s focus has shifted more and more toward the children’s television space: “Oddly, I’ve found that almost no other songwriting endeavor I’ve undertaken has so completely freed me to explore so many genres of music, while also tapping into my Jordan-esque level of pun-manship. I love the role songwriting plays in children's storytelling. I can just fully externalize my messy, uncool inner creative child. In truth, I’m not that messy anymore. Though I do remain highly, and proudly, immature.”
In addition to writing the songs for an upcoming Netflix children’s musical series, Peter is developing his own music-driven kids shows, and has begun a book about songwriting entitled “Dare To Suck!”.
A lifelong New Yorker, he recently moved to Los Angeles, and lives in Marina Del Rey.
