Peter Katz’s career began on international stages as a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, eventually earning JUNO and Canadian Screen Award nominations, and amassing over 60 million streams. But it wasn’t long before Peter’s unique ability to move people emotionally led to something bigger. A surprise invitation to speak at a small-town theater for a youth mentoring program that used his music as part of their curriculum launched Peter into a second career: helping people rediscover meaning, momentum, and connection through music and message.
Fueled by equal parts fear and respect, Peter vowed he’d never step on stage without knowing who he was speaking to. That commitment to personalization became the foundation of his keynote work. From then on, his music and message became a bridge between people and purpose.
But what truly sets him apart isn’t just his music—it’s how he uses it. Known for his ability to make large audiences feel like the moment is happening just for them, Peter delivers powerful keynote experiences that are deeply researched, emotionally resonant, and built entirely around your audience. Clients often say, “No one has cared about us as much as you have.” That’s because Peter’s mission is not just to present, but to co-create a transformative experience—with your people at the center. At the core of Peter’s keynotes is the belief that “a talk may last 60 minutes, but its impact can last a lifetime.”
Since that pivotal moment, Peter has become one of North America’s most in-demand keynote speakers and facilitators, delivering hundreds of customized experiences on navigating change, company culture, and connection in both English and French for top-tier organizations like American Express, TD, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Mars, and even the House of Commons of Canada. Each presentation uses Peter’s proprietary intake and interview process, ensuring every audience sees themselves reflected in the content and walks away inspired and re-engaged.
True to his roots, music and storytelling permeate every offering Peter delivers. After a decade of work supporting organizations and individuals from every industry, he brings a deep knowledge and diverse skill set to help teams set the stage for powerful change that endures.
His signature offering—the Keynote Concert™—blends live music, storytelling, and evidence-based insights into an immersive hybrid performance that moves audiences to action. Drawing from his 20-year career as an artist and performer, Peter delivers more than inspiration—he helps teams internalize purpose, celebrate impact, and reconnect to what truly matters. With his warm presence and musical talent, Peter makes your event feel personal, powerful, and unforgettable.
Beyond keynotes, Peter is also a certified xchange Approach™ facilitator, trained in helping teams co-create meaningful change. He has led interactive workshops and songwriting sessions for healthcare professionals, sales teams, educators, and leadership groups—always infusing creativity, empathy, and joy into the process. If your people are exhausted, disconnected, or just ready for something new, Peter’s sessions provide a space to reset, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible.
Every one of Peter’s offerings is built for you, with you. Using his focused intake and interview process, Peter will make sure your event meets and exceeds your “dream-come-true” scenario. Whether closing a 2,500-person global summit, emceeing a corporate event, or facilitating a purpose workshop with your executive team, Peter shows an uncommon level of care, preparation, and heart. He’ll interview your people, learn your language, reflect your values, and co-create an experience that leaves your team feeling seen, celebrated, and ready to move forward—together.

“We had 1100 managers at our sessions, with varied backgrounds and also no connection to the music industry. But Peter’s down to earth approach was incredibly relatable. We got very consistent feedback from all five of Peter’s cross-Canada sessions. I would hire him again in an instant.” – Declan Brady, Senior Vice President, Field Operations, Bell Canada
“Peter stands out as special and I knew it would be that way from the minute I learned about him. He did an incredible job delivering a heartful and wise presentation to our people. He is so gifted and authentic. It has been an absolute joy to work with him and I am grateful for the connection.” – Katherine Twells, SVP, West Region, The Coca-Cola Company
“We’ll never be able to book another speaker because no one will ever be able to live up to what you did for all of us. We’ll remember this for the rest of our lives.” – Heather Lank, Library of Parliament, Government of Canada
“Peter Katz forever changed the way I choose keynote speakers. He helped our association achieve something we’ve been striving for: to have our members feel recognized and heard. Our personnel are among the most burned-out and highly affected by compassion fatigue. Peter’s stories, songs and clear intention to understand alleviated burdens felt by an entire community.” – Catrina Watson, Events and Sponsorship Manager, Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians
