At the young age of 15, Peter Noone was receiving international fame as “Herman”, the lead singer of a new group called Herman’s Hermits.

During the seventies, Mr. Noone would continue to perform, compose and produce songs for many artists including icon David Bowie. During the eighties, Mr. Noone found himself on the Broadway stage starring in "The Pirates of Penzanace" winning critical reviews for his performances.

Peter’s acting career would  flourish throughout these years as well with guest starring roles in prime-time television shows including Married With Children, Too Close For Comfort, Dave’s World, Quantum Leap, My Two Dads and Laverne and Shirley.
