Pato was born in Kaduna, Nigeria. His love for music began at a very young age. At age 7 he had already taught himself to play the piano. His favorite childhood singer was Michael Jackson.
Pato started performing at age 9 in churches and local primary school talent shows. This continued though his teen years and into secondary school. Some of the many schools he performed in were, Zamani College, Wilson Prep. School, and Essence International School.
When Pato graduated from high school, his desire to continue his great passion that he had enjoyed over so many years grew. At age 17, Pato moved to Eastern Europe where he met European super star, Ibrahim Maiga. It wasn’t long until Pato was touring and performing with him. Their style of music was cultural music mixed with urban hip-hop. They performed in places like Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland and many other Eastern European countries. While his music career was growing tremendously, Pato also started modeling for big name agencies like Calvin Klein, Collins Sports Wear and Gap. He was even in several movies, one of which was Urban Menace, which stared Snoop Dogg.
In 2001, Pato moved to the United States. It was in Hollywood, California where he was able to further his goal, and long dream in the musical world. His desire was to make music that could reach out to everybody in the world. He took his flavor of Nigerian music, along with his style of music he had performed in Eastern Europe and combined it with new age hip-hop. After spending years and years perfecting his music, he’s decided to bring it back to his motherland, AFRICA, NIGERIA. He is ready for both his homeland and the entire world to enjoy, embrace and be entertained with his masterpiece.
