Patrick K started playing music at an early age. 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." Patrick started his first band with his buddies called EXIT and later started a punk band called STD in which he played bass. At the age of 18 Patrick was in a bad motorcycle accident. His injuries were severe and took him away from music. As a young adult he began writing songs inspired by his life, and all of his experiences. His musical range varies from straight rock, acoustic rock, to rock ballads. He recorded a two song Christmas album for an Irish Homeless Charity released in 2008. He has been awarded several awards over the last three years in the the well known "UK Songwriting Competition" Patrick has completed two full albums the 1st" STRANGE TOWN" recorded in his home town of CORK in 2010 and the 2nd "FADE AWAY" in 2011 recorded in LOS ANGELES.
