As co-owner & head engineer of the hotel2tango recording studio in Montreal, Bilerman has enjoyed working with some of Canada's most talented artists, as well as others from The USA, The UK, France, Italy, Scotland, Africa, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, Portugal & Australia.

Some of the artists Howard has worked with include: LEONARD COHEN, THE ARCADE FIRE, VIC CHESNUTT, A SILVER MT. ZION, NAP EYES, BRITISH SEA POWER, SAM ROBERTS, PATRICK WATSON, COEUR DE PIRATE, ADAM COHEN, LOU DOILLON, THE WEBB SISTERS, and WOLF PARADE to name just a few. He has been credited on over 500 records to date, including as an engineer on LEONARD COHEN's GRAMMY winning song " You Want It Darker".

Howard has been a regular faculty member at the BANFF CENTRE, having helped to create their groundbreaking INDIE RESIDENCY & SINGER SONGWRITER programs. Bilerman's recordings have received international critical praise, and the hotel2tango is seen by many as being at the center of Montreal's independent music community.
