Peter Furler

Peter Furler was born in Adelaide, Australia to Bill and Rosalie. His father is a missionary and a Pastor and has taken his family on many trips into the heart of Australia. Peter discovered his love for music at an early age, but he didn't begin expanding this interest until high school. He started his own band with two friends in the early 80s. He often thanks his mother for graciously allowing them to rehearse in a mattress padded garage. His first big break was his sister's 16th birthday party, where the band played for the first time. Now, over twenty years later, and over twenty band member changes the Newsboys are influential in Christian Rock today.
