Our Team

Pierre-Philippe Côté

Pierre-Philippe (also known as Pilou) is an Entrepreneur, film score composer, writer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and director. His varied talents and musical prowress attracts artists of international caliber to his studio that is quietly tucked away in the forest. With a bachelor’s degree in double bass from the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal and after touring internationally with an impressive roster of artists, he chose to return to his beloved region of Estrie to build his recording studio as a base for many projects. Surrounded by a team of technicians, musicians and collaborators from across Quebec; Birdhouse Publishing and Studio Le Nid offer professional quality services that reach the highest industry standards. Over the past seven years, his extensive experience has enabled him to develop an expertise in hosting creative residencies. The demand for this kind of immersive creation has grown in recent years thanks to technology that allows workspaces to be decentralized, as well as the need to have places where you can disconnect in order to create.
