As the voice of LA based indie-pop/Americana heroes Last December—who rose to prominence in the late ’90s—Peter Argyropoulos collected numerous accolades for his songwriting and producing. Their music was (and still is) regularly featured on network TV shows and films. After teaming up with veteran producer-engineer Brian Malouf to co-produce Last December’s acclaimed 2007 full-length, Hailstorm, Argyropoulos quietly began writing new songs for a solo project. Upon rechristening himself with new stage name Pete RG and honing his voice to a powerful deeper register, he began the successful transition from bandleader to singer-songwriter.
