Biography

Peter Pringle is a renowned French-Canadian singer, born on September 7, 1945, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His musical journey began at the age of 6, singing in the children's choir of the Canadian Opera Company. Over the next few years, he mastered a wide array of classical instruments, financing his studies by penning hits for other artists such as Anne Murray. After relocating to Los Angeles in 1975, he released his eponymous studio debut, which earned him a nomination for Most Promising Male Vocalist at the 1978 Juno Awards. Upon his return to Montreal in 1980, a prolific Peter Pringle issued the English LP Rain Upon the Sea (1981) and a French album titled Magicien that spawned the Number 1 singles "Si j'étais Magicien," "Je viens de découvrir," and "Madame." In the years that followed, he delivered a string of classic pop albums such as Fifth Blue Avenue (1982), Pour Une Femme (1982), Fantasies (1982), and Chansons d'amour (1984) while also participating in the recording of the 1985 charity single "Les Yeux de la faim." In 1987, Peter Pringle created the critically acclaimed one-man theatrical show Noel Coward: A Portrait, in which he played the main character. Following the release of the studio albums Le Jeux d'amour (1991) and Le Secret du Cantique des Cantiques (1992), as well as the compilation Comme j'étais - comme je suis! (1996), Peter Pringle quit the world of pop music altogether and became a renowned theremin player, issuing well-received albums like Many Voices (2003) and Dancing Alone (2021).
