THE BACK STORY:
Debbie Peters came to the Yukon 33 years ago, settled in and raised a family. She's always been involved in the arts, both as a musician; she's a classically trained flutist, and as a producer, administrator, agent and manager. She started Magnum Opus after coordinating the Yukon Summer Music Camp for a number of years, due to the jazz trio two of her sons were a part of, needing a manager. Engaging the trial by fire method, she learned about developing the career's of young musicians through rolling up her sleeves and seeing what worked. By the time that first band split, they had sold 30,000 albums, were playing halls up to 900 seats, were distributed in Canada and the US, licensed in Hong Kong, showcased extensively, and widely publicized. From there, the ball was rolling and Debbie was able to expand from a small jazz roster to a diverse group of both northern and western Canadian artists.
