Chichi Peralta was born on July 9, 1966, in Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic. His musical career began at the age of four, when he built his first drum.
The first album Peralta released was Trópico Adentro, but it was released independently and only in the Dominican Republic. His first album released internationally was Pa' Otro La'o, on which all the tracks were self-edited and produced. In 2000, he released the album De Vuelta al Barrio, which won the Best Merengue Album at the 2001 Latin Grammy Awards and great critical acclaim. In 2005 he released yet another album, Más Que Suficiente, which was nominated for Best Contemporary Tropical Album at the 2006 Latin Grammys, and also won many other international prizes. In 2007, Peralta was declared the Dominican Republic's goodwill ambassador for his contributions to Dominican culture. In 2009, he released his latest album De Aquel Lao' del Río which was released independently, and features a mixture of Dominican music genres with elements of world music. The album's first single was "Amor Samurai", which is a mix between Dominican bachata and Japanese music.
He has also composed the score of the documentaries Orgullo de Mi Tierra Samaná, Orgullo de Mi Tierra Puerto Plata and Orgullo de Mi Tierra Barahona and Camino a Higüey.
