PATRICE (Twitter.com/PatriceForde)

PATRICE, is an Antiguan-born beauty, who grew up in a small village, on a tiny island in the Caribbean. She started out singing in the children’s choir at her church, which led to her being a part of a 3 girl gospel, who performed around the island at numerous churches and other talent events. Patrice later got more exposure as a singer by representing her school in the island's annual Carnival pageant.

After immigrating to the United States, PATRICE continued singing in church and joined two singing groups; one of which was another 3 girl gospel group. Together, they competed in various talent shows, local christian concerts in San Diego CA, as well as getting spots during a Christmas speacial on two local tv stations.

In 2006, PATRICE decided to change things up and began her journey to become a solo artist. With help of a co-worker who gave her a few tracks to write to, she began writing and recording. After meeting with a producer/artist/songwriter (Marwan - R&B/Soul singer), recommended by another co-worker, her solo career had finally been born.

While working on her first solo album, PATRICE hit the open mic scene in Chicago and Indiana to get her face and talent out there and to make connects. These connects led to her songs Don't Break Yo Back, So Right, and Ain't No Changin You, being played on Chicago's WGCI, on their Independent Artist progam (Go Ill Radio).

On June 3rd, 2009, PATRICE went to New York to compete at the legendary Apollo's Amateur Night, where she took home 4th place! Then on July 5th 2010, Patrice took home the title of Chi-Town Idol 2010 and will be a part of the Chicago Music awards 2011! Her success so far has begun to cause quite a buzz in the Chicago-land area and in her homeland, Antigua. PATRICE has been featured in the island's local newspaper (The Daily Observer), and her music has been in rotation on two of the island's most popular radio stations .. Liberty ZDK's Power 100.1FM and .. Vybz FM.

Often described as having smooth vocals and an undeniably sexy swag, PATRICE has proven to keep her audiences captivated and wanting more. Her passion is music and she aspires to inspire people, young women especially, to never give up on their dreams no matter where they came from or who says that they can’t turn their dreams into reality. With her sultry vocals, catchy lyrics, and unique blend of R&B/Pop/Reggae flavor; this island girl from Yorks Village is well on her way to showing the world that anything is possible
