Their message was clear: set up the microphones and let my harp speak the emotions of my heart.”

A Journey Through Music and Mysticism
Peter Sterling’s musical journey is as enchanting as his melodies. Without any formal lessons, he recorded his debut album, Harp Magic, after only ten months of playing the harp. This remarkable feat earned him a nomination for the NAIRD Indie Award for Best String Album of 1994, paving the way for a prolific career.
Over the years, Peter’s albums have garnered international acclaim, topping radio charts and earning prestigious awards. Albums like Harp Dreams, which held the #1 spot on the ZMR Top 100 international radio chart for eight weeks, and Patterns of Reflection, which was nominated for New Age Album of the Year, showcase his ability to resonate deeply with listeners.

Continuing this legacy, The Winding Way secured the Gold COVR Visionary Music Award for Best New Age Album of the Year in 2022. Most recently, Mystic Voyager won Best Contemporary Instrumental Song at the Intercontinental Music Awards and Best New Age Album at the COVR Visionary Music Awards for 2024.
Beyond the Harp: Artistic and Literary Pursuits
Peter’s creativity doesn’t stop at music. He’s an accomplished visual artist, creating gem and crystal-embellished stained glass windows and capturing the breathtaking landscapes of Sedona in his photography collection, Sedona Crystal Visions. His Crystal Alchemy Portals of Light series showcases kaleidoscopic designs that have captivated art enthusiasts worldwide.
In addition to his musical and visual artistry, Peter is a gifted author. His first book, Hearing the Angels Sing: A True Story of Angelic Assistance, chronicles his journey to becoming one of God’s harpists, channeling heavenly harmonics for peace and healing. His latest work, Peter and the Magic Harp, is a children’s story set against the enchanting backdrop of Sedona, drawing from his own experiences of divine guidance and mystical encounters. This tale invites readers into a world where reality and the spiritual realm intertwine, offering lessons of hope, courage, and the transformative power of music.
His dedication to spreading messages of hope extends to film as well. The music video for “The Long Cold Winter” from Mystic Voyager, inspired by the resilience of those affected by the war in Ukraine, has won numerous awards at international film festivals, including Best Music Video at the Los Angeles Cinematography Awards.

Peter Sterling’s angelic music continues to reach audiences worldwide through platforms like Pandora, Spotify, Sirius Satellite Radio, and even in-flight entertainment on United, Hawaiian, and American Airlines.
