At the age of eleven, Melbourne singer-songwriter Peter Freebairn was drawn to the sounds of The Beatles and Neil Young. After playing in countless bands through his teenage years and early adult life, Freebairn’s first big break came in the early 2000s with his band THE WISH. After recording demos of several new self-penned songs he pitched them to music publishers across the country and soon landed a music publishing contract with BMG. The band achieved national radio hits ‘Love Is Alive’, ‘Gotta Let You Know’ and ‘Don’t Change’.

Following the 9/11 attack on American soil in September 2001 Freebairn was moved to write the heartfelt song ‘Faith Alive’. The songs’ lyrical theme encouraged people to be strong during times of grief loss and tragedy. In 2006 the song was submitted to a Music Supervisor at NBC TV Network in Los Angeles. ‘Faith Alive’ was subsequently selected by the producers of a new US television comedy drama series 'Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip' which co-starred the late Matthew Perry (Perry is best known for his role as Chandler Bing in the mega hit popular long-running television comedy series, Friends). “Faith Alive” understandably had a huge impact on US viewers when a promotional clip of the episode the song was featured in was aired during the Golden Globe Awards in 2006.

The Wish disbanded in 2006 and Freebairn formed a new rock band called RADIO VERTIGO. They played the Melbourne pub circuit and released two critically acclaimed EPs, ‘Town Of Deceivers’ and ‘Evolution’. The former included the track ‘Free’ which received national radio airplay including Triple M Melbourne. In 2019 he released his first solo recording a 6-track self-titled EP. This work proved to be popular across the vast community radio network with many of the tracks receiving generous airtime.
