Pirate Toronto

We are Pirate Toronto, an award-winning commercial audio production company. Founded in 1990 by Terry O’Reilly and Rick Shurman, Pirate has grown to become one of the largest and most acclaimed production facilities of its kind in Canada and beyond. We’ve developed a solid reputation for excellent work and service for advertising, radio, long-format, and digital projects across a growing list of sound specialties . These include sound design, original music production, music licensing, voice direction, casting, and more. We give brands a voice, and gets your message heard. Ours is a sum-of-the-parts approach that treats the production of every ad, film, and TV show as a collaborative endeavour. It allows us to draw from a roster of more than 90 composers, including Gemini- and Juno-award winners. We may have four HD studios in-house, professionally-trained engineers and producers available at your beck and call, a network of 90 composers, including Gemini and Juno Award winners, along with a writing department. We also serve damn good food and a great cup of coffee.
