Paul Peterson, also known as St. Paul, is a musician best known for his memberships in the bands The Family and The Time.

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Peterson was the youngest son in a musical family. He was discovered by Prince in 1983 and groomed to replace Monte Moir as keyboardist for R&B band The Time. Peterson gained exposure when the band appeared in the breakaway hit movie "Purple Rain".

When The Time broke up in 1984, Prince gathered the remnants to form The Family, with Peterson as lead singer. The Family's tenure was brief, and Peterson left to pursue a solo career, releasing his eponymous debut album in 1986. He released two solo albums in the 1990s, as well as a live recording with the group, The Minneapolis Allstars.

Peterson is also a session musician and has backed up many acts in concert. He also played bass for the house band on the "Donny & Marie" TV program. He has co-written many hit songs for various artists over the years. His latest album, "Everything", was released in 2004. Peterson is married and has two children.

According to a January 31, 2007 press release on [http://www.stpaulmusic.com stpaulmusic.com] , the The Family is getting back together.
