PG - is not your ordinary female artist. When you are as focused, disciplined, and hungry as she is, you are no longer ordinary. As a product of a single-parent household, PG - born Peta-Gaye Duff – quickly grew independent and self-sufficient. Born in Portland, Jamaica, and growing up in the Downtown, Toronto, she was no stranger to the fast pace lifestyle. Her voyage with music began with choirs in school and church; soon after her voice became recognized. She is strong-willed, much like the artists who influence her; Lauryn Hill and Jasmine Sullivan, to name a few. Naturally she exudes a confidence that is almost intimidating to some.  Juggling basketball, school, and work made it hard for PG to make time for music. As she grew older she began to realize her real passion, music, and became more focused on her ability’s to sing and rap. Winning numerous talent shows, being an emcee for S.T.O.M.P Urban Dance Competition, and performing at different youth based events, has made her no visitor in her community. This outspoken young woman knows what it means to work hard and be rewarded. A part of the Lady Saints Basketball team who has won two OFSAA gold medals and managing the Sr. Boys Saints team has taught and allowed PG to be an active leader. It is not the fact that PG creates music that makes her artistry captivating; it is the fact that she really understands it. She displays the type of musicality and leadership required to develop her career into one of longevity and significance and her dedication shows through in her music. PG will be releasing a Mix Tape and EP in 2009, with the hopes of creating a “buzz” and proving that Urban Music is possible in Toronto. PG says “I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am” as she is continually honing her craft alongside her team at Vital Dexterity Records (VDR).
