Pete Yorn

Pete Yorn is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who gained international recognition after his debut album “Musicforthemorningafter” was released to critical acclaim in 2001. But Yorn started out in music at a young age, teaching himself to play the drums at age nine and then learning the guitar shortly thereafter. He, of course, played drums in his band in high school and then made music his primary focus while attending Syracuse University. After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles and three years later was signed to Columbia Records in 1999.

His music caught the attention of film producer Bradley Thomas (There’s Something About Mary), and this led to Yorn scoring all of the music to the film and contributing the songs “Strange Condition” and “Just Another” to the film and its soundtrack. It was after this work that his debut album was released in 2001 and it went gold thanks in great part to the single “Life on a Chain”.
