Artist description Imagine the outpourings of a modern singer/songwriter with the piano skills of Tori Amos, the lyricism of Sarah McLachlan, and a fondness for guitar riffs such as Fleetwood Mac’s "Landslide". Now add a demand for newness and an ear for techno/industrial discord and you'll have an idea of Patricia's sound.

Artist History Patricia graduated the Juilliard School of Music’s Pre-College as a Piano major, Composition minor, and Assistant Conductor to the Chamber Choir. She began composing in her late teens, then set aside music for several years. After launching a successful Internet software consulting company, MassMind Corporation, she plunged full-body back into her creative calling. The result? Birthing litters of songs described by fans and critics alike as “Rockin’,” “Awesome!,” “lush,” and “melodic and catchy.”

Nice guitar work... it's melodic and catchy and works well with the ethereal vocal. Well done... Beautiful musical bed and the lyrical imagery is nice... Top notch vocal and instrumental performances here..." TAXI®: "[Her] musical root structure is beyond reproach, and conceptually [she] has fleshed out some novel ideas."
