He has spent his life exploring music through writing songs, playing multiple instruments, and now music production and mixing. Alongside music, Garrett also spent a large portion of his life involved with theater.

He also spent time at Dolby Labs as a listening test participant where he was able to contribute to research they were performing. At the same time, his burgeoning freelance workload lead him to seek more opportunities on his own, until he was able to establish GWPeters Audio.
