Heritage

Patrick was born in Suriname, South America and grew up on the Caribbean islands of Sint Maarten and Curaçao. As a result, he was exposed to a rich variety of music, which is vividly present in his music. Firstly, the island of Sint Maarten, which is half Dutch and half French, exposed him to music styles such as: soca ,calypso ,reggae, zouk, and kompa. Secondly, Curacao which is more Latin orientated, introduced him to a large variety of Curaçaolean and Latin music genres such as: tumba seú,tambu ,merengue ,salsa, son, bachata , mariachi reggaeton, and Latin rock. Lastly, the music of Suriname kawina and kaseko. However, from a vocal point of view he was always more drawn to African-American soul/R&B music. Hence, his music is a sweet blend of soulful singing and Caribbean rhythms.
