Peter Alexander Lust III could be called the “brainchild” of The Feisty Piranhas and PIRANHA, but he is really just a normal Teenager. He attends a private High School with a 4.0 GPA. He listens mainly to metal, punk, blues, or alternative rock, just like any other SoCal Teen. There are two distinctly different things about this “average teen”. First of all, he is hearing impaired with only 25% hearing in his left ear (50% with a hearing aid), and 5% in the right. His other difference only seems more different with his hearing handicaps. He writes the majority of the music for The Feisty Piranhas, including most of the lyrics. Although many teens play and write music, few can do what Peter Alex does at his age and with his hearing handicaps. Now lets go to the beginning, early 1988, a boy that was to be named Peter Alexander Lust III was born. His father, Peter, had a great passion for music that rubbed off on to Peter Alex. His mother also was an avid music fan, especially jazz and soul. On Peter Alex’s 2nd birthday, he was given a guitar. Right then started what would become the musician that he is today. Up to this point he has had training for Jazz, Bass Guitar, Classical Guitar, and Musical Theory. He has gone through numerous surgeries at UCLA Medical Center under the attention of Dr. Henry Kawamoto. He takes his greatest inspirations from Alex Lifeson of Rush, Joe Satriani, James Hetfield of Metallica, and the Bluesy-Rock of Eric Johnson. He almost totally swears by MINARIK Guitars, Voodoo and VHT amplifiers. You can also catch him playing a few Modded Fender Strats and Dean ML’s. He takes his music very seriously and also has a lot of fun giving it to the world.
