Real name: Paul Ciupek

Californian Christian punk/alt-rock guitarist/singer-songwriter. Sang for punk act One Bad Pig until 1992 opting for an adult alternative sound on his own. Stage name derived from frustration at frequent mispronunciation of his surname. Q-Pek's influences include Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Howard Jones (Q-Pek waxed a rendition of Jones' "Things Can Only Get Better" on his solo debut.) Ciupek is again involved with a reunited One Bad Pig at present.
