Band Story
Patricia: From the Wild of Alaska to the Edge of New York—and Back Again
There are singer-songwriters, and then there are artists like Patricia—sharp-witted, soul-baring, and impossible to ignore. With her latest full-length release, "what would you believe?", Patricia once again peels back the layers of life and language with a lyrical precision that is as cutting as it is captivating.
Her songs are intricate tapestries of thought—fueled by intelligence, irony, and a wicked sense of self-awareness. From the brutal honesty of introspection and the ache of unresolved love to tongue-in-cheek observations on female competitiveness and obsession, Patricia navigates human emotion with a storyteller’s flair and a poet’s depth. Her lyrics don’t just rhyme—they reveal.
Raised on a remote Alaskan island, Patricia found music in the silence of isolation. With limited resources, she taught herself the craft, developing a voice that was both uniquely her own and deeply universal. But Alaska couldn’t contain her forever. Her compass pointed to New York City, where the downtown scene of the Big Apple became her classroom, her proving ground, and ultimately, her muse.
Those formative years in NYC sharpened her songwriting and deepened her artistic edge. Performing in clubs and soaking in the eclectic energy of the city, Patricia learned what every real artist must: that great songs aren’t just written—they’re lived.
Now back in Alaska, surrounded by the raw grandeur of mountains and sea, Patricia works from her own studio, crafting music that’s both intimate and expansive. "what would you believe?", her second release following the critically acclaimed "My Best Mask On", showcases a matured voice, a refined sound, and a fearless lyrical pen. Her debut won two songwriting awards and earned raves in Performing Songwriter Magazine. Early praise for her new album suggests it’s an even more powerful statement.
This is not background music. Patricia’s work demands your full attention—and rewards it with every verse, every phrase, every hard-won truth.
So lean in. Listen close. And ask yourself, what would you believe?
