About Peter Prince
The versatile, intrepid Canadian artist Peter Prince, is based on Salt Spring Island, BC. He has taken his musician’s soul and filmmaker’s eye from the Haida Gwaii to the Himalayas, but his heart is rooted in natural beauty and culture of the Salish Sea. The remarkable breadth of his work includes producing and directing documentary films, composing soundtracks for Film and TV, and creating 7 ALBUMS of original music. His award-winning films have aired on networks in over 60 countries. Down-to-earth stories and honest emotion are standards of his craft as he finds new ways of using media to communicate.
Prince’s music explores themes of love, loss, hope, family and community. ISLAND WAY and PACIFIC DAY are his latest albums of songs. Beachcombing for lyrical inspiration, Peter creates collages of vivid imagery. Pulsing with acoustic-roots expressions, his music moves both body and soul. Also check out his guitar-led gems of Instrumental Music, CHASING RAINBOWS and LIGHT DANCE.
The high flying “heavenly bird” of the Himalayas is the muse for BHUTAN – THE KIND KINGDOM. Prince’s new documentary gives voice to the endangered Black Necked Crane and the enlightened conservation initiatives of this enchanting Buddhist nation. As Bhutanese farmers strive to save their beloved Cranes, his lens captures the kingdom’s rugged beauty and vibrant culture. Discover the heart and mind of a land the world has called, “the last Shangri-La.”
