I have long wanted to work with a solid team in order to be able to mount large-scale projects and take them to the next levelsays Mario Pelchat, who remains General Manager of MP3 Disques. I’m delighted to have found strong allies who share my love of music in Anne Vivien and her team. With Quebecor and its Music Division taking over the administrative side of MP3 Disques’ album and concert production operations, I will be able to focus more on creation, the part of the job that I’m most passionate about.

The addition of MP3 Disques to Quebecor’s Music Division is great news! , commented Martin Tremblay, Chief Operating Officer of Quebecor Sports and Entertainment Group. It will further strengthen our music creation and concert production business. The move will therefore benefit artists and help promote Québec music.
