The idea is a return to innocence. A time when money and race and stress didn’t exist like they do today. This allows you to make new connections and see things intuitively, creatively and authentically. This opens new doors for people.
About the Artist
Peter is an exceptionally rare kind of artist—a true polymath—whose work seamlessly blends music, visual art, cultural heritage, history, and cutting-edge digital media. Building on the legacy of his grandfather, the legendary entertainer Cab Calloway, and great-grandfather Andrew Reid, a prominent Baltimore activist in the post–Civil War era, Peter brings forward a tradition of social justice, community engagement, and creative innovation. Nurtured in an environment where service and empathy were expected, he has dedicated himself to breaking barriers and creating immersive, healing experiences that transcend cultural, linguistic, and neurodiverse boundaries. As an AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD) artist, Peter draws on a distinctive worldview called “Homo Universalis” (Universal Person). This perspective enables him to illuminate ancient universal human truths that transcend gender, religion, race and even politics through “spiritual technology” which reduces stress, sparks creativity, and fosters genuine human connections. His work feels both timeless and futuristic—a blend of authentic American traditions with innovative digital arts. For decades, his lineage—exemplified by Cab Calloway’s legendary career—has quietly urged people to rediscover hope and choose life over despair. Today, Peter continues that mission through immersive sound environments, transformative meditations, interactive installations, soulful performances, and multimedia productions that engage audiences on a profoundly emotional level. Whether he is providing a sensory-rich soundbath, delivering a captivating blues concert, designing an interactive museum exhibit, or creating experiences that make complex social issues like neurodivergence approachable and empowering, Peter consistently crafts “wow” moments that leave audiences feeling heard, uplifted, and inspired. Ideal for: Neurodivergent communities, individuals with PTSD, or those seeking emotional healing Minority groups, marginalized communities, and those in transition Schools, universities, social impact organizations, nonprofits, and corporate environments looking to reduce stress and foster creative thinking Your Audience Can Expect: Immersive sound environments that ease anxiety and enhance creativity A charismatic, one-of-a-kind performance informed by generations of artistry and service Opportunities to collaborate with a polymath capable of shaping extraordinary experiences Custom animations, games, music, video, or other media tailored to your story and goals A revolutionary blend of American artistic heritage and cutting-edge digital innovation Engaging talks, groundbreaking instructional design, and inclusive user experiences Insights into Maryland’s cultural richness, including America’s first peoples Imagine a meditation session designed to calm even the most high-pressure corporate setting, a blues performance that makes time feel suspended, or an interactive installation that educates with playful depth. Peter’s work transforms ordinary events into unforgettable experiences, ensuring that every participant leaves with a renewed sense of connection, understanding, and hope. Partnering with Peter means creating moments that truly matter—moments where art, empathy, and imagination come together to uplift everyone involved.Peter Brooks website The Case for a Modern Polymath Peter Brooks website Artwork Peter Brooks website Games and Quizes Authored by Me
Artist's Statement
My signature entrainment-based experiences have garnered recognition from healthcare organizations, cultural institutions, schools and corporate clients for their measurable impact on well-being and creative potential. Through carefully orchestrated sound and multimedia environments, participants experience: Immediate stress reduction and mental clarity Enhanced creative thinking and problem-solving capabilities Lasting improvements in focus and emotional resilience Deeper connection to self and others Renewed sense of possibility and purpose A transformative experience that will continue to resonate long after our work together ends What sets these experiences apart is their foundation in both science and artistry. By combining proven entrainment techniques with immersive multimedia design, I create environments where transformation feels natural and inevitable. Whether in a corporate wellness center, museum installation, or private event space, each experience is precisely calibrated to your organization's goals and Marylanders today. The time for innovative approaches to well-being and human connection has never been more critical. Imagine, a creative experience that doesn't just meet your objectives – it exceeds them in ways you never thought possible. Please contact me now.Featured Work
