Pierre-Luc Rioux, also known as PL, is a Grammy-nominated musician and producer celebrated for his authentic sound and commitment to innovation. The French-Canadian artist has made his mark as a key member of the critically acclaimed, Juno Award-nominated band Chiiild. Rioux has collaborated with artists like David Guetta, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, and Maroon 5. Additionally, he has been nominated for two Gémeaux prizes for his work as a film composer.

Riouxʼs signature sound, clean guitar riffs, and seemingly simple, yet contagious airy melodies are the result of a self-confessed quest for minimalism. He names guitar virtuoso Eric Clapton among his greatest influences. He also cites comedians Jerry Seinfeld as an artist, who, in a manner similar to Clapton, has succeeded at stripping their art of all artifice to create something that is ultimately pure, real, and human, an achievement that Rioux seeks to emulate with his own approach to music.
