Biography:
Peter “Capri-Ceo” Freire
Puerto Rican, Italian, Portuguese, born a Leo in San Luis Obispo, Ca without a father, Peter is the youngest of four and the only son. His mother took the initiative to leave an abusive relationship and fled to San Bernardino , Ca. At the age of three a man came into their lives and chose to take on the responsibility of “Dad”. Ironically thereafter, with the memories awfully vivid, his childhood life was filled with constant abuse, neglect, and instability for many years to come. He was forced to live and be taught by the streets, raised in the "Muscat Projects" of San Bernardino then later roamed the dirt roads of the Mojave Desert .
Weary of the maltreatment at home he also chose to leave those extreme living conditions. A situation his mother attempted to get them away from years before. At 14 he ran away from the only family he knew and loved in hopes to bring change but instead found himself in group home after group home for abused and neglected children for much of his teenage life. At 19 he reunited with his family and it was revealed that in contradiction to what he went through, they too operated 5 group homes for abused and neglected children and they lied about his warebouts telling their employer that "Our youngest stays in Los Angeles with his older sister Michelle.
While going through his hardship and trying to find his place in life music was the only avenue of tranquility. Straying away from the peer pressures of drugs, alcohol and negative influences his high was the tempo and flows that burst through the headphones he listened to every day. Soon thereafter his desire to become a famous artist was envisioned. Born from a bloodline of a multi-talented family of entertainers (Juan Compose) in Puerto Rico dating back to the 18th Century it is no surprise that music is his forte.
Unyielding to his aspirations Peter acquired the pseudonym Capri-Ceo derived from the Italian word Capriccio (kə-prē’chē-ō) meaning an instrumental composition that does not adhere to rules for any specific musical form and is played with improvisation, which is evident in his music. He has written over 80 song lyrics, has produced 17 sound recordings completing his first album entitled "Business Man", and has performed at many local events in Barstow, Victorville, and Southern California .
Although the ill-effects of his past still linger on he strives to instill value and respect into the family he now has and by providing a better way of life for them than that of his own.
