Marc-André Pépin

About

The artist

Marc-André Pépin is a Canadian composer and pianist professionally based in Quebec City. His artist-controlled biography documents studies in composition and analysis at the Université de Montréal with André Prévost and Serge Garant, followed by a recording career that began with Songs Without Words in 2008. Current evidence confirms that the exact artist remains active in Quebec. His official site presents the April 2026 single Pirouettes and the 2025 singles Indolence and Confession, while the Conservatoire de musique et d'art dramatique du Québec identified him as a Quebec composer and pianist for a November 2025 recital devoted to his works. A direct artist interview identifies Quebec City as his public location, and Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec records Productions Emma-P and his published Hibernation materials in Quebec City. The exact Spotify identity linked from his official site contains eleven principal release containers after first-artist matching and title-date reconciliation. Spotify classifies seven as albums and four as singles, spanning June 2008 through April 2026. Representative releases include Pirouettes, Arômes de jazz, Hibernation, Tempus Fugit, and Songs Without Words. Arômes de jazz was recorded with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and expands his catalog from solo piano into an orchestral suite informed by tango, bossa nova, and other modern dance rhythms. Rendez-vous received an ADISQ nomination for Instrumental Album of the Year in 2011, and Tempus Fugit received the same nomination in 2018. His official biography also documents a 2015 appearance with Enlightened Piano Radio at Carnegie Hall. Université Laval identifies Serge Lacasse as the producer of Tempus Fugit and as producer, mixer, and mastering engineer for later Pépin recordings. Those credits belong to Lacasse, so MusicList classifies Pépin as a composer and pianist rather than a record producer or engineer.
