Available to hire
I’m Pete Grove, a West Vancouver-based music professional with more than 30 years shaping independent music, production, and live performances. I founded Woodwork Recordings, built its catalog to over 120 releases, and currently run the label as a digital platform while also doing production, mastering, and promotion.
My work spans recording, live sound, event production, AV, and visual design; I enjoy creating collaborative music projects, guiding artists from concept to release, and delivering memorable experiences on stage and screen.
