Yamaha | Artist Breakthrough Story | Peter Hook – “Playing Makes Me So Happy, I’ve Found Peace.”

Get an insight into the lives and minds of artists in our series of ‘Artist Breakthrough Stories,’ where we hear about their passions, how they got to where they are today, and their defining “breakthrough” story.

From his tranquil home, and then riding through the streets of Manchester, iconic musician and long time Yamaha artist, Peter Hook, shares his breakthrough story.

Hooky details the significant moments which steered his life and career to where he is today, a place of peace. We start from the catalyst of his musical life: an infamous Sex Pistols show inspiring him to pick up a bass and show up, even though he couldn’t yet play, to the difficult times: losing his best mate, Ian Curtis, and facing addiction. The common theme in Peter’s stories is perseverance.

“If you've not got nothing to struggle against then what is life, if you've not got something that drives you on.” – Peter Hook.
