His Dad, a musician himself, taught him how to play the keyboards, and he immediately took to it. There was always a musical instrument at hand as his dad played in bands such as "The Arrivals” and “The Dukes of Jazz." The middle of five children, Patrick was the only sibling which exhibited a great love for music. Patrick still enjoys jamming with his dad,and still plays the occasional gig with him.. "There's always stuff to learn from those seasoned musicians" he says. From a young age, Patrick knew he wanted to be a musician. Patrick started his first band with his buddies called EXIT at the age thirteen. At the age of fifteen Patrick got into heavier music and started a punk band called STD in which he played bass. Patrick moved away form music for several years and then for reasons unknown, at the age of thirty three, Patrick suddenly picked up a guitar and taught himself some chords, and hasn’t put it down since. Finding writing music very theraputic, and influenced by such bands as U2, Oasis, Coldplay etc..Patrick started writing songs inspired by his life, feelings and all of his experiences. His musical style has been inspired by his love of music. His musical range varies from straight rock, acoustic rock, to rock ballads. He also recorded a two song Christmas album for an Irish Homeless Charity released in 2008. He was recently awarded one finalist and three semi finalists awards for the well known UK Songwriting Competition.
Patrick is currently in the sutdio with Producer Mikal Reid (Ben Harper, Aerosmith) recording his next cd "Communication Breakdown" and excited and looking forward to its release in early 2011.
