Catalogue was co-founded in 2016 by Thomas Pépin and former partner Louis-Marc Lefebvre. Since our establishment, we have worked with brands and designers such as SSENSE, JW Anderson, Converse, Hilton and Marriott, as well as some of the best restaurants in the city including Club Chasse et Pêche, Le Filet and Monarque.

In the age of A.I. and algorithms, we believe in having real humans behind our curation process, to provide sonic experiences that are tailored to the client’s needs, and are aligned with their brand. Music as a medium has the power to evoke strong emotions. We believe audio design should be an intricate component of the retail strategy and the guest experience.

Operating at the intersection of art and commerce, we have deep ties to the music world while being proficient in marketing, retail strategy and hospitality management.

Thomas Pépin was born in Montreal in a house fil­led with music – his mother, a clas­si­cally-trained gui­ta­rist, and his father, a Bra­zi­lian music afi­cio­nado and singer-guitar player in a local band.

Growing up in the 90s, he spent many hours sour­cing music from re­cords, CDs, VHS tapes and radio shows to create the ul­ti­ma­te cas­set­te mix­tapes – a way for him to pro­cess and ex­press his emo­tions as a teenager.

By the mid 2000s, he ran a music blog called The Sweet Fix and DJ’d re­gu­lar­ly at bars and clubs around Mont­real, sha­ring his mu­si­cal taste with a growing au­dience. In the early 2010s, Thomas then spent two years in Ber­lin wor­king in music and design. This time would have a po­wer­ful and las­ting impact on his crea­tive process.

Back in Montreal, as requests for per­so­na­lized sound­tracks for friends’ busi­nesses grew, Thomas and Louis-­Marc de­ci­ded to for­ma­lize this new ven­ture into Catalogue in 2016. Today, he works full-time on crea­ting and sus­tai­ning music sound­tracks for va­rious clients, as well as over­seeing the growth and de­ve­lop­ment of Catalogue. In his spare time, he con­tinues to cu­rate and share mix­tapes with friends and loved ones.
