In addition to their own artistry, Carter is the primary producer for pop-folk musician and Nettwerk artist, ’PEGGY’ (2021-2023)..
After suffering a serious concussion at age 10, Carter turned to music as a way of healing through physical recovery. Initially familiarizing himself with Garage Band back in 2009 before switching to Logic Pro, Carter has been actively producing and using Logic as his primary DAW for over a decade. In addition to their personal artistry, Carter has cultivated a network of local collaborators within the Berklee community to explore commission based production work.
“Maybe it’s his distinctly indie-lo-fi vocals, maybe it’s the synthy groove that gives a laid back indietronic 80’s nostalgia. I can’t put my finger on it but this young singer-songwriter has my whole heart and both of my ears anytime he releases new music. His songwriting is so sharp and clever and I love the space he allowed this track to have with the instrumental which allows you to just let the instrumental and hook wash over you. Originally written on the eve of Jame’s 21st birthday, the artist writes “ it was originally a stream of consciousness depicting my mental health journey” and now it is this elevated almost meditative track. ”
