Peter Edward Kirtley was born in Cuckfield, Sussex, England, but moved to Surrey at a young age. The younger of two children, his father, Al Kirtley, was a semi-professional musician who had at one time been a member of Zoot Money's Big Roll Band and later of Trendsetters Limited, and under contract to Parlophone Records. At the age of 11 he joined a band with Matt Goss, Luke Goss and Craig Logan who later formed the British band Bros. Kirtley was a keen amateur actor while at school, but at the age of 16 chose music as a career and became a professional drummer. For four years he was a member of The Blue, a band managed by Bob Herbert and his son Chris, the original managers of the Spice Girls. The Blue's only single, "Don't Leave Me Standing in the Pouring Rain", was released in 1992, but failed to enter the chart.

Mutya Buena - Strung Out (Unreleased Pete Kirtley demo)
This demo version of Strung Out (aka the original mix) leaked well in advance of the Real Girl album release, resulting in the dramatically altered final album version produced by Jony Rockstar, as per Mutya's label's request. The track in its original Pete Kirtley produced form was included on Room 2012's debut album, released in Germany in 2007. Pre-Sugababes, Pete Kirtley served as Amelle's protégé, so a demo version of her take on Strung Out is also confirmed to exist, but has never leaked. Both Sugababes 2.0 and 3.0 apparently recorded the song (during the Taller In More Ways album sessions) too, but these versions have never seen the light of day.

If you leave me, if you grieve me What would I do without you to see me through. If you hurt me, if you desert me What would I do, without you, to see me through. What would I do Tell me I wanna know Who would I see What would I know. Well I'm crazy about my baby What would I do without you, to see me through. What would I do Tell me I wanna know Who would I see Where would I go.
