A German artist known for his socially-conscious blend of reggae, soul, folk, and hip-hop, Patrice became a breakout star around the turn of the millennium and carried his momentum through the next decade with hit albums like 2005's Nile and 2008's Free-Patri-Ation. His multi-cultural roots and innovative sound set him apart from other German acts and over time he developed a strong D.I.Y. aesthetic that saw him handling nearly every aspect of his career from producing and mixing to directing videos and designing his own artwork. His dynamic live shows have made him a consistent touring draw and he enjoyed continued chart success with albums like 2013's The Rising of the Son and 2016's Life's Blood. In the next decade Patrice continued to experiment with 2023's eclectic 9, and a poignant cover of Bob Marley's "One Love."
