He was born 1964 in Bruchsal, Germany. Since 1978 he has been concentrating on tango and the bandoneon, the instrument of the tango. On his journeys to Paris and Buenos Aires he was playing with and learning from world-famous musicians such as Rodolfo Medero, Juan Jose Mosalini, Nestor Marconi, and Coco Nelegatti.

From 1996 until 1997 he was living and working as arranger and bandoneon player in Buenos Aires. Peter Reil has played with almost all well-known european tango musicians, and by now he is the most famous bandoneon player of Germany.
