Peter Brown (born 11 July 1953, Blue Island, Illinois) is an artist, songwriter and record producer who was also a pioneer in home recording, having recorded his seminal hits in his bedroom.

He signed with the record label Drive Records, a subsidiary of T.K. Records. He released his first album, A Fantasy Love Affair which was issued in September 1977 and hit the charts with the single Do Ya Wanna Get Funky With Me, which became the first 12" single to sell a million copies. Brown's follow-up single, Dance With Me, (featuring Betty Wright on backing vocal) reached Billboard Hot 100's top 10 at #8 in 1978, and has become his signature song.
