Peter Peter (Canadian musician)

Career

He started as a member of metal/alternative rock band Post-Scriptum where he played guitar and English vocals at times. After leaving the band, he moved to Montreal and resided in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighborhood, concentrating on his solo career writing and performing in French. He took part as a singer-songwriter in the annual Montreal feature Ma Première Place des Arts for new artists in 2008 and won the competition.

In 2009 he signed with Audiogram record label, releasing his eponymous debut album Peter Peter on 8 March 2011 produced by Howard Bilerman. In 2011, he also took part in Les FrancoFolies de Montréal.

In June 2013, his studio album Une version améliorée de la tristesse ("An Improved Version of Sadness") was longlisted for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.

His album Éther was a longlisted nominee for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize.

In November 2025, he composed the original music for the television series Heated Rivalry, broadcast on Crave and developed by Jacob Tierney based on the novel by Rachel Reid. This was his first original score composition for a television series. He released the tracks "Rivalry" and "It's You" as a double single on 9 January 2026. The former, which serves as the series' theme song, is an instrumental techno track that Rebecca Alter of Vulture described as "Challengers-esque". The latter accompanies the scene in the episode "Olympians" depicting Shane and Ilya's first instance of anal intercourse and was described as "slow and dreamy", with lyrics that "evoke Jane and Lily's distinctively monosyllabic texting style". The full soundtrack album, titled Heated Rivalry (Original Series Soundtrack), was released digitally on 16 January 2026, via Milan Records; an LP release is also in the works.
