HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Birth name" is not recognized

Peter Cunnah (born 30 August 1966 in Londonderry, Northern Ireland) is best known as lead singer and songwriter with 1990s dance-pop duo, D:Ream.

D:Ream

Prior to forming D:Ream, he was lead guitarist with Belfast based band Tie the Boy who were briefly signed to the Mother Records label owned by U2. When that deal foundered soon after the band's move from Belfast to London, in-fighting amongst the members of that band led rapidly to its split.

Finding himself in the heart of London's clubland, Cunnah, already a producer, originally conceived D:Ream as a way of re-using songs from his previous band. With little by way of support in London, he teamed up with DJ Al Mackenzie on a series of dance records by a 'faceless' dance act which would be fronted live and on-record by a diva, leaving Cunnah free to concentrate on songwriting and production and Mackenzie free to concentrate on building a DJ reputation. He has also produced the YouTube star Ben Kelly, a contestant on The Voice UK.
