Peter James, President & CEO, Manic Kat Records

Peter James is a singer, song-writer, multi-instrument musician and, most recently, an entrepreneur entrenched in the punk rock scene for close to two decades. Peter developed an affinity for all things musical in his early teenaged years, giving guitar lessons and featuring in multiple bands. His best known project, Reflective Insight, toured extensively, including five Warped Tours in 2005-2009, and will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of its debut record in 2019. 
After personal experience allowed him to become familiar with the business end of the music scene, Peter developed a professional model for a different type of record label: the kind he would have loved as a musician. In 2014, Manic Kat Records was reborn and exploded into the music industry, offering bands and artists an alternative to the traditional record deal. Under the umbrella of Peter’s services, Manic Kat Records, Switched On Studio, MK Booking, and a full complement of marketing, media, photography and videography are offered to support and promote musicians as they develop into their full potential. In subsequent years, the label has continued to grow, boasting a diverse roster and continued recognition by Alternative Press, Kerrang, New Noise Magazine, and Dying Scene just to name a few. As it continues to expand and evolve, Manic Kat Records looks forward to its best year yet in 2019.
