Patrice

In 1999 Patrice, a young 20 year-old German, releases « Lions », a first E.P that allows him to perform the first part of the European tour of Lauryn Hill…

This led to his first album entitled « Ancien Spirit », a perfect blend between of musical culture that he received from his parents: reggae, jazz and folk. Patrice is an all-round man as you can tell in his second album « How do you call it ? », a title that in itself witnesses of his musical originality: undescribable!
Throughout his discography, soul music, blues, jazz, hip-hop and reggae come together so that the artist can pride himself on a variety of fans of all ages and cultures.

« Soulstorm » from his album « Nile » made Patrice into an international star and allowed him to tour the planet. After two albums that went unnoticed, he returns to the front of the stage with « The Rising of the Sun », a wonderful album that goes back to his musical roots and enjoys a lot of critical praise.

Patrice wants to be an innovator, both in terms of musical performance and promotion. This is why, in 2010,  he accompanied his classical concerts  with « Blitzgigs », improvised accoustic concerts taking place in bars. Today for « The Rising of the Sun », he suggests that his fans attend a sunrise with him by offering them an open-air concert.  Tens of thousands of people have thus had an opportunity to applaud him in Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Berlin, Strasbourg, Cologne, New-York…
As fans of Patrice and of his concept, we contacted his record company inviting him to come to Brussels!
A week before THE day, Patrice asked his Belgian fans to come up with ideas for a fun place for an early morning concert…The Parc du Cinquantenaire was elected! A Thursday, at 7:15 a.m. hundreds of Brussels fans confronted fatigue and cold, sitting around a mic, waiting for their idol…
Once everyone was in place, Patrice stepped on the grass of the Parc du Cinquantenaire and made his way through the 900 people who were waiting for him… For 45 minutes, the German sang new and old songs and ended up on his chair singing a super medley, including a Bob Marley cover, which an appreciative audience wholeheartedly sang along!

Patrice’s music has the power to move the audience both via excellent arrangements, as well as simply his voice and guitar…
