Pete Muller is a critically acclaimed songwriter and pianist known for his dynamic live performances and his genre-spanning blend of roots, rock, soul, and pop. With thoughtful storytelling and rich musical arrangements, Muller’s songs explore the emotional nuances of everyday life while drawing listeners into deeply human moments of reflection and connection.

His latest album, One Last Dance, was recorded at Real World Studios in Bath, England—the legendary studio founded by Peter Gabriel—and features special guest appearances from Grammy-winning artist Allison Russell and genre-defying duo SistaStrings. The record marks the first time Muller produced both himself and his band, The Kindred Souls, capturing the core of the album in just one week of recording. The result is a lush, cinematic collection of songs that blend raw performances with layered arrangements, revealing subtle observations about love, presence, and the beauty found in life’s quieter moments.

“Sometimes less is more,” Muller reflects on the inspiration behind the album—a philosophy that has increasingly shaped both his life and his music. “I’ve led a curiosity-driven life,” he says. “I feel grateful to have had adventures that few get to experience. But lately I’ve been finding more joy in the little things—the small moments of beauty and wonder that only reveal themselves when you slow down and pay attention.”

Muller’s path to music has been anything but conventional. A self-described numbers enthusiast, he built a groundbreaking career in finance, helping reshape modern Wall Street while simultaneously cultivating a reputation as a thoughtful and compelling singer-songwriter. That unique perspective informs his music, which balances intellectual curiosity with emotional openness.

With One Last Dance, Muller delivers some of his most personal and resonant work yet—a deeply vulnerable collection of songs about slowing down, staying present, and loving with your whole heart.
