Peikli, a Thelonious Monk Jazz Institute Award finalist, uncovered his musical identity as a child when his grandfather gave him a Benny Goodman recording. Currently a student at Berklee's prestigious Global Jazz Institute, Peikli has played at festivals around the world, including the Oslo Jazz Festival in 2002, which was the performance that launched his career. In 2007, Peikli was the youngest recipient ever to receive the Capital of Norway Honors Prize. After attending Berklee's Five-Week Summer Performance Program, Peikli earned a full-tuition scholarship to the college, where he has studied since 2011. 

World-class offices, waterfront restaurants, and sophisticated urban lofts come together in Boston's only waterfront, mixed-use complex. Framed by the buzzing harbor and the new Rose Kennedy Greenway, Atlantic Wharf is the Waterfront District's center of activity.
