Biography and career
Montzingo is the third child of Darrel and Vicki Montzingo. In a piece published by The Seattle Times in January 1991, when he was several months old, it was stated "Everyone but Peter, who they aren't sure about yet, is a dwarf" and that "genetically, there's a 75 percent chance Peter will be, too. 'If he's going to be a dwarf, he had better start dwarfing soon,' Darrel says. 'At seven months he's only three pounds behind Andrew, who is about half the size of a normal 4-year-old.' Or maybe he'll take after the rest of Darrel's family, where the average height of the other four brothers hovers above 6 feet." [1]
After completing his degree in film at Central Washington University, Montzingo studied acting. [5]
Montzingo has twenty-four million followers across his social-media platforms. [6] His YouTube channel was ranked seventeenth among the "Top 50 Most Viewed U.S. YouTube Channels" by Tubefilter. [7] His videos show what it is like to be a tall person raised by a dwarf mother, [8] [9] besides serious videos tackling mental-health awareness and fascination with the supernatural, as he formerly lived across the street from the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, which has been the site of numerous incidents of deaths and violence. He also records and shares his experiences on TikTok. [6] [10] [11]
In 2019, as a recording artist with the band 5WEST, he toured South Africa and Europe. The band did its first arena tour as the supporting act for Boyzone in the autumn of 2019. [12] [13]
In 2022, Montzingo co-wrote a picture book titled Little Imperfections: A Tall Tale of Growing Up Different, along with Rockwell Sands. [14] The book covers the theme of being different, and is told through the perspective of Montzingo himself. [6] [15]
