Peter Dankelson is a musician and speaker. Over 800,000 social media followers have found inspiration and motivation from his music, books, and life story. Peter’s story and talent is the inspiration that fuels Pete’s Diary, his band. He is 23 years old and undergone 37 surgeries to correct birth defects due to Goldenhar Syndrome. Peter found his passion for playing guitar at the age of 15 and used it to get through his toughest recoveries. His music is available on all streaming platforms.
