Peter Rafelson - Biography

Peter Rafelson is a writer/producer working in the music and film business in the USA. Peter is the son of film director Bob Rafelson and has written many successful songs inlcuding Open Your Heart (a number 1 for Madonna). Peter is developing VOYEURZ which has been called the world's first Cyber-musical, which he wrote, featuring the raunchy all girl LA rock band Fem2Fem

Born in Manhattan, New York, October 30th, 1960, Peter grew up and went to music schools in Los Angeles and Colorado. He is now working out of his own studio, Rafelson Recording and has his own publishing company, Rafelson Music.

He signed the group Fem2Fem and produced their first two albums for his record label called Ave. Foch Records, which is distributed by BMG. The first album was called Woman To Woman and has sold over 125,000 records. The second album, entitled Animus was recently released and has become the #1 most imported record in the UK (now available on a British based label called The Hit Label, distributed by Polygram).

Some material from Animus is featured in VOYEURZ which opens at The Whitehall Theatre in the West End of London in March 1996.
