EP BERGEN

 

Vancouver born, Montréal, Toronto raised music composer ,dj, producer, audio sculptor.

Eric-Pierre (E.P.) finds pleasure in delivering a unique sound , from the drums, the guitar,

the computer keyboards to a baritone singing voice. Angelic Kingdom his latest

recording is his sound. His collaboration with a few artists include Jean Leloup,

Stephane Moraille and some D Js including Vivie-Ann from Blond-Ish.

E.P. was known for co-founding and co-producing Bran Van 3000 back in `94.

 That work later earned a Juno Award for best alternative album`GLEE`.

 A signing with EMI propelled  the group all over the US and Europe

in a fancy tour bus previously used by Prince and Bob Dylan.

The group opened up for BJORK, MASSIVE ATTACK, PULP, PRODIGY, MOBY and more,

culminating to a headline show at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2008

rocking out in front of no less than 180 000 people with his buddy James Di Salvio.

E.P`s musical talent enabled him to score 3 feature length movies, a few documentaries

and numerous TV spots as well as work with his good friend Jean Leloup

to co-produce JOHNNY GO which went to number one on French radio.

Johnny Go actually was the first hip hop beat to play on mainstream radio with full

rotation in Montreal. It really did open the door to Hip Hop and R n B in that once

 predominantly white radio format. Discovered young Mitsou in the 80`s,

had a synth-pop band with her called the The DANZLAB. After she left, he

released his first 12 inch record at the age of 19 with producer MC Mario.

Later E.P. toured with Mitsou as back vocalist and opening act when she did her own

 record with Pierre Gendron who he introduced her to in the New Wave scene.

To return the favor, Pierre Gendron produced E.P. Bergen`s first album which was

a great learning opportunity for the still young artist . If Bran Van 3000 ever had a

success, it was largely thanks to Pierre and Michel Gendron`s  show biz coaching

that E.P. passed on to James.

Also known as Electronic Pierre, he is currently making a new solo album,

remixing old songs written at 17 and onward , working on future BV3 songs

while finally becoming a solid disc jockey.

To be continued.
