Peter Kingsbery is one of the most popular and richest Singer- Songwriter who was born on December 2, 1952 in Phoenix, Arizona, United States.
After the band split in 1990, Peter Kingsbery pursued a solo career in France, where he settled. Kingsbery speaks fluent French and is much more famous in France than he is in his native U.S..
After signing with a new label (Barclay), he recorded his first solo album A Different Man in 1991 in California that he co-produced with his friend, drummer Pat Mastelotto. Kingsbery broadened his skills by not only playing the piano or organ but also the accordion. Breaking with the style of Cock Robin, he introduced more classical instruments such as wind instruments (saxophone, flute, trombone and euphonium) or traditional as the oud (or lute, giving Slavic accents to the song Hélène). Other than Mastelotto, some of the musicians who recorded this album with Kingsbery participated in the venture of Cock Robin: Clive Wright, John Pierce, Corky James and Tim Pierce. Phil Solem of The Rembrandts, also contributed to this album. Contrary to what he used to do in the Cock Robin albums, Kingsbery recorded a cover version of How Can I Be Sure, a hit by the band The Rascals dating from 1968. The album which originally included 10 songs, was re-released with 2 extra tracks “Love In Motion” and “The Sublime” for the international market. It was followed by a tour in France, where he only played the piano in small clubs all over the country and Paris (in 1992, he played to a packed Théâtre Grévin).
