    Peter Wadams, better known by his stage name P-Money, is a New Zealand DJ and producer.

    In 2008 P-Money released the single "Everything", which featured the New Zealand R&B singer Vince Harder. The song reached number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart for three weeks that year.[1]

    He is also known for his early collaborative work with New Zealand rapper Scribe. This including Scribe's 2003 single that P-Money produced, "Not Many".[2] P-Money is also credited as co-writer and producer on the 2017 single "Call on Me" by Australian singer Starley.[3]

    Career[edit]

    P-Money's initial entry into the music industry was via DJ competitions and student radio. In 2004, he released his second studio album, Magic City, which charted at number 2 on the RIANZ New Zealand Singles Chart. His first single of the album, Stop the Music, featuring New Zealand rapper Scribe, was P-Money's his first solo number one single and also charted within the top 10 of the Australian ARIAnet singles chart in April 2005.[4] The album included collaborations with local and international artists such as Akon, Skillz, Jatis, Aasim, Capone, Sauce Money, Bobby Creekwater, Grandmaster Roc Raida and Scribe. The second single off the album "Keep on Calling", featured American hip-hop artist Akon which charted at number 23 in New Zealand.

    He won the awards "Best Producer" (for his work on Scribe's multi-platinum album The Crusader) and "Songwriter of the Year" at the 2004 New Zealand Music Awards.[5]

    P-Money records for the label Dirty Records, which he co-owns with Callum August. The label was formed in 2002.

    In September 2008, he released "Everything", featuring Vince Harder, which peaked at number one on the RIANZ New Zealand Singles Chart on 13 October, thus receiving P-Money his second number one in New Zealand.[4] In February 2009, a follow-up to "Everything", "Angels", was released to radio and digital music services.[6]

    In 2015, P-Money produced the soundtrack to the New Zealand film Born to Dance.[7]
