biography

Carol Welsman is an internationally acclaimed singer and pianist whose expressive vocal styling and dynamic stage presence have captivated audiences around the world. She has sold over 60,000 CDs in Canada alone, something few jazz/pop artists in Canada have experienced.

Born in Sorel Quebec, guitarist/composer/songwriter/producer Pierre Coté is one of the busiest studio/live musicians on the Montréal music scene. Over the last 20 years, he has toured or recorded with artists such as Jim Corcoran, Celine Dion, Carol Welsman, The Benny Goodman Orchestra (New York), Alain Caron (UZEB), Le Cirque du Soleil, Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets), Ken Peplowski, Dave Liebman, (New York) and countless others. Equally versed in jazz, blues, pop and country, he has played on several recording sessions in Nashville and Los Angeles. Pierre has also written music and several songs for various Hollywood and Canadian movie productions as well as themes for television. He was also nominated for several “Adisq” (Québec) and “Juno” (Canada) awards as a producer/arranger, composer and musician. In 2012, he released his first solo jazz project “Amerika Plads”, featuring fellow Juno nominee, saxophonist Chet Doxas.
