Layout by CoolChaser Keisha Patterson's world has been shaped by her involvement in varying genres of music spanning musical theatre, touring the globe on music festivals with Freddie McGregor, and studio recordings with Sly and Robbie and Sinead O'Connor. Entering a new chapter of her life with the release of her debut reggae jazz album "Sunday Kind of Love", the charismatic chanteuse belts out such standards as "Fever", "Summertime", "What a Difference A Day Makes", and "Girl from Ipanema", which have been refashioned and infused with the unmistakable sounds of indigenous Jamaican reggae. The album is produced by Dalton Browne of Big Ship fame, who has produced many reggae hits for several artistes including Freddie McGregor's "Winner" and Anthony B's "Freedom". Patterson's album is the first album to be released under Browne's label, Busy Bee Records. Patterson is a graduate of Campion College, one of Jamaica's most prominent high schools and an alumni of the island's Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. She was a member of the trio Kingston Ladies (with Pam Hall and Leba Hibbert) who released an album titled "Ladies' Turn" in Europe in 2004. She also sang backup for Grammy-winning artiste Sinead O'Connor on the reggae-flavored 2005 album "Throw Down Your Arms". For those trio albums, Patterson trekked across the world for concert performances, racking up frequent flyer miles as she performed in cosmopolitan cities such as Dublin, London, Los Angeles and Paris and making appearances on NBC's "The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno" and CBS' "Late Show with Craig Ferguson". More recently, Patterson has been an opening act and background singer for Freddie McGregor on numerous performances including reggae festivals in Japan, San Francisco, Hawaii, Germany, Italy and Spain. As a self-professed "eclectic lover" of all types of music, the woman blessed with the honey-pure vocals is a multi-talented force of nature. She has acted in lead roles in Jamaica Junior Theatre's and Jamaica Musical Theatre Company's aadaptations of the Broadway musicals, "Phantom of the Opera", Beauty and the Beast", and "The Lion King". She also scored a nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in Jamaica's Actor Boy Awards for her performance in the musical "Once on this Island". With the release of "Sunday Kind of Love", Patterson is ready to state her claim as an artist of raw talent with a promising future. "I hope that people who love reggae will listen and if they are not familiar with some of the songs, they'll love what we've dished up." Wix.com |
