Details:
A singer/songwriter since the age of 16, Patrick presents a sound that is unreserved, each note filled with gripping passion. At a young age, local talent show opportunities near Patrickâs hometown of Eden, NC began to create a platform for him to perform at larger venues on the east coast. After much encouragement from radio personalities to put out an album, Patrick released âComplex Simplicities of Loveâ in 2002 under his co-founded independent record label, True2Life Entertainment. After selling out the entire stock in a matter of months, Patrick began working on his full-length album. The author of numerous songs, Patrick writes his own material while working in tandem with True2Life Entertainmentâs in-house production team and associated producers to create music for other artists. Patrickâs debut album captures his early roots in gospel and classical music, while showcasing his pop and hip-hop cultural influences.
