With a fellow band member of Moose he started a new group named Alias, in which Peterson served as a vocalist.

However, he soon decided that he wanted to make a career in music and managed to get approved as a student at the Fontys Rockacademie of Tilburg.

There he met guitarist Jacob Streefkerk and bassist Edsel "Touché" Eusebius, who are both from the island of Sint Maarten.

Peterson served as the second vocalist for Orange Grove and performed with the group at several Dutch music venues and also on Sint Maarten.

[2] While they had their activities at Orange Grove, Peterson, Streefkerk and Eusebius decided to start their own band, and with fellow students Erwin Gielen (drums) and Kevin Hissink (guitar) they set up Intwine.

", Train's "Drops of Jupiter", and U2's "One" in the subsequent rounds,[3] he managed to qualify for the live shows as one of the remaining ten finalists.

Peterson, however, refused to sign the contract that required him for participating in the finals, because it would prohibit him from recording his own songs and with his own band after the end of the series.

His performances in Idols, nonetheless, spawned a lot of attention for himself and his band Intwine as well as a recording contract for the group at Dutch label Dureco.

The following year they released Kingdom of Contradiction on which they re-recorded earlier songs in a style more similar to nu metal.

He performs regularly at local Aruban clubs and festivals, playing covers and Intwine songs together with the bands So What!
