While Breinholt was a student at the University of Utah, he and friends Mike Ensign and Rex Griffiths made an amateur recording of songs Breinholt had written and called it "Songs About the Great Divide". It became the best-selling independently released album ever in the state of Utah up to that time almost entirely by word-of-mouth. (1996) and Deep Summer (1999). Since then Breinholt has continued to release and perform music. In 2018, Breinholt and his family moved to Canoa,
Ecuador where he wrote songs for his fifth album of original music entitled "The Counting Of Nothing" released later that year. In March 2019, Peter gave a
TEDx talk in Provo, Utah, entitled "What Makes You Come Alive?". ==Personal life==
