Peter Andrew Buffett (born May 4, 1958) is an American musician, composer, author and philanthropist. With an acclaimed career that spans more than 30 years, Peter is an Emmy Award winner, New York Times best-selling author and co-chair of the NoVo Foundation. He is the youngest son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett.
Buffett began his musical career in the early part of the 1980s in San Francisco. There, he recorded and produced albums for local talent. He also was hired by ad agencies to compose commercials and logos - including MTV and CNN, both of which were new to cable television at the time.
Narada Productions, a new-age music recording company, signed Buffett to a recording contract. In 1987, Buffett debuted with Narada, releasing an album entitled The Waiting. His second album, One by One, was inspired by Evan S. Connell's book "Son of the Morning Star". In 1989, Buffett moved to Milwaukee, home of Narada Productions and closer to his childhood home in Omaha, Nebraska. Buffett would release two more albums with Narada: Lost Frontier and Yonnondio.
While with Narada, Buffett had his first major success scoring the "Fire Dance" scene in the film Dances with Wolves. The film score, composed by John Barry, won the Academy Award for Best Original Score. Barry would later invite Buffett to collaborate with him again, this time at the Abbey Road Studios in London. Buffett contributed the American Indian soundscapes to the film as well as composed two songs for the soundtrack of The Scarlet Letter.
