Friendship History[]
Degrassi: Next Class[]
Season 2[]
In #SquadGoals, Peter is shown sitting in class waiting to meet Maya for the Degrassi music co-op and jokingly ask her to tell him about Zig Novak. Maya sees she accidentally brought him Zig's resume. Peter tells Maya that he has heard her songs online and that he was impressed by "Yes", calling it a beautiful long love for someone so young. Peter than tells Maya that he has a rough track and he wants her to mix it and the gig is hers. Maya comes up with a rough mix, since her focus was on Zig's budding friendship with Esme. Peter takes the mix to listen to, despite Maya saying it isn't ready. Peter later calls Maya telling that her mix was the best and that he wants to polish it.
In #BuyMePizza, Maya takes Peter's offer that both of their bands play together at the alumni gala.
In #ThrowbackThursday, Peter is with Maya, who had lost her voice, and she points him to Jonah. They need a replacement for Maya to sing the girl parts of Degrassi anthem at the event since she can't do it and was hoping Jonah would know someone who could take over.
In #ToMyFutureSelf, when Jonah can't make it to their gig, Peter takes his place and he invites Maya and Grace to come to his party for his 24th birthday. Maya ends up going and Peter introduces her to Spinner Mason and Sav Bhandari. Maya over hears a conversation between Peter and his ex Chrissy and leaves after hearing what Peter said about her.
In #RiseAndGrind, Maya is in the studio watching Vijay Maraj's cover video of her song and Peter walks in so he can return her heel. As he was about to leave, Maya asks him for advice about her problem with Vijay. Peter advises her that she should play nice with Vijay. Later Peter is in the studio with Maya helping record Vijay singing an original song she wrote for him. Peter tells Maya that he'll try to get her into song writing sessions over the summer and tells her not to forget him when she gets famous.
