Singer-songwriter Peter Himmelman has parlayed his successful career in music into a cottage industry. He got his start in the mid-1980s, long before the Internet revolutionized how people make, distribute and listen to music, and he has continued to evolve by constantly finding new ways to tap into the creative well. Himmelman is prolific, but he has been able to maintain a high level of craftsmanship in his songs by balancing quality and quantity, and through his highly improvisatory live performances - at which he has been known to regularly make up new songs on the fly.

He has scored music for television and movies and released dozens of songs through his Himmelvaults project. But Himmelman is far from all-business. Along with his diversified creative endeavors he wisely has kept his priorities in check by making the logical sacrifices necessary to maintain a healthy family
