Pierre-Philippe Côté, also known by the stage names Pilou or Peter Henry Phillips, is a Canadian musician and composer from Quebec. He is most noted for his score to the 2017 film Ravenous (Les Affamés), for which he won the Prix Iris for Best Original Music at the 20th Quebec Cinema Awards, and was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Original Score at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards.
Originally from Asbestos (Val-des-Sources), Quebec, he studied music at the Université du Québec à Montréal, where he was often commissioned to write music for films made by his friends in the film studies program. He subsequently formed the band Mimosa with singer Ines Talbi, who were the winners of the 2007 Francouvertes competition for emerging musical artists from Quebec. He later launched his own recording studio, Le Nid.
He has released albums as a recording artist under the names Peter Henry Phillips in English and Pilou in French, but is credited under his own name on film scores.
He is married to actress Geneviève Boivin-Roussy.
