A Juno Award- and Canadian Screen Award-nominated singer-songwriter, when Peter Katz takes the stage, the room changes. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies, leading healthcare organizations, major associations, and governments of all levels, he delivers highly customized Keynote Concerts that blend live music, powerful storytelling, and research-backed strategies to create an experience your audience will talk about for years to come. Katz speaks on building cultures of connection and belonging, helping organizations learn to surface and celebrate the moments that matter to spark inspiration, alignment, and performance that lasts.
Combining the emotional resonance of an award-winning recording artist with the clarity and impact of a master communicator, Katz doesn’t speak at your people — he draws them in. He’s often described by clients as a “thunderbolt of the soul”. Katz’s perspective on service has been cultivated from nearly two decades as an internationally touring singer-songwriter. After a serious injury and a global pandemic interrupted his plans, he discovered that the skills he had honed through a life on the road — like creating space for deep communication and communal joy — were applicable to people from any industry and any walk of life.
A four-time TEDx fellow, Katz has delivered his highly customized keynote concerts and facilitations to organizations and associations from nearly every industry, including Coco-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Cisco, American Express, Johns Hopkins Medicine, SickKids Hospital, PCMA, and APEX. He is known for going far beyond standard “customization,” often conducting pre-event interviews and weaving his client’s mission, values, and audience stories directly into the keynote experience.
As an acclaimed musician, Katz is beloved in his home country of Canada and has inspired many with his songs. CBC radio host Tom Power has praised his music as “one of the most heartfelt, beautiful, and vulnerable records of the year, an astonishing record.” Katz’s music has been streamed over 30 million times, and his music videos have over 35 million views on YouTube, with his cover of Beyonce’s “Halo” garnering over 33 million views alone. His music is regularly featured in films and on television, including CBC Television’s 2016 Rio Olympics/Paralympics coverage.
