Biography

Philippe Pinard was introduced to his passion for music at 5 years old through a music education program at elementary school where he started playing violin. He then learned piano and the trombone, but opted for drums at 13. After learning and practicing in his parents’ basement for a few years, Phil played with a few underground music bands.

It’s in 2008 that Phil was asked to replace The Brains’ drummer in a Canadian tour. He then officially joined the group in 2014 as Phil The Beast. Since then, he has been on many Canadian tours with The Brains and recorded a new album in 2015 (Out in the Dark).

When Phil does not play music, he runs an animation and visual effects company
(Wolfgang Animation). He looks after different projects for his band, for example, video clips (Out in the Dark and The Witch), he created and maintains the band’s website, and put into place The Brains’ online boutique.

As The Beast’s craving for music never stops, he also likes teaching music on his spare times, and has been learning how to scratch vinyl records.

This is just a beginning… Other projects to come!
