More than three decades ago, Peter One was a country music star in West Africa. With his singing partner Jess Sah Bi, Peter played to sold-out arenas across Africa and was a regular on television and radio shows. In 1985, Jess Sah Bi and Peter One's debut album, ‘Our Garden Needs Its Flowers’, propelled the two Ivorian musicians to regional stardom throughout West Africa.
Peter eventually decided to emigrate to the United States to pursue his musical career, but he encountered a setback. Shocked by the cost of living in America, Peter decided to pursue a career in nursing. Music was never far from his mind, and he continued to write and play guitar. Luck struck when an ethnomusicology student discovered 'Our Garden Needs Its Flowers'. The album was re-released in 2018 and led to the rediscovery of Peter One and his music. He signed with Verve Records to release his new album ‘Come Back To Me’, which includes songs in English, French, and his native language.
