Early life

edit

Born Peter Elisha Cobbe,[4][5][6] as the middle son of the Hume family. Alongside brothers Jon and Dann they formed Evermore in Feilding in 1999.[1][2] Hume attended Red Beach Primary School until the age of 9, after which, he and his brothers became home schooled by their mother.[7]

Peter played inter-club tennis and had a great passion for colouring-in competitions along with his younger brother Dann Hume. Unfortunately his career as a colouring-in champion was cut short due to a scandal of adults believing the artwork was created by someone much older.

As teenagers, the Hume brothers moved to Australia to pursue music professionally. Their mother is from Australia and father is from New Zealand.
