PATjE French singer, who in 2009 got the Latino audience’s attention in the US with "Gogo", has momentarily left Los Angeles to Europe, where he shot a Paris version of his Latin hit.
The "Gogo" band accosted the Seine shore in May just in time for a Flashmob immortalized on a new music video. After a productive 2009, the US, where TV shows have succeeded radio performances, the favorite French performer to the DJ Latinos goes to France and Switzerland to promote his hit. "The Flashmob in Paris brings back very good memories," says PATjE. We left - with all the necessary authorizations, he says - yet bold with two cameras we captured some great moments. The clip has been seen by more than 358,000 views on YouTube ...
A remix version was released in 2010 but there is not that "Gogo" in the life of Patje which is also promoting "QUEDATE", another song from his album PASAPORTE.
The Swiss-born singer grew up in Marseille and settled on the West coast for ten years. He released his first album in 2004, Evasion, targeted to his French audience. But it is with his hit song in Spanish - which is has versions in English - that PATjE met his first big success.
While waiting to enter the U.S. for gigs in clubs in Los Angeles, PATjE is seeing the results of GOGO Paris and Geneva where he will be in concert at the Theatre Alchimic in October. And the best goes on.

PATjE
Born in Marseilles, France, to a French father and a Spanish mother, singer/songwriter Patje performs a contemporary mambo reminiscent of Lou Bega. His music's happy-go-lucky rhythm and strong brass accents are a definite departure from what's typically heard on tropical radio. And it's finding a spot on the charts: "GOGO, " the first single from PATjE's album "Pasaporte" is No 38 on Billboard's Tropical Songs chart.
Pasaporte wil be released Oct. 6 on PATjE's own label, Patje SARL, and a national distribution deal is currently being negociated with an indie distributor. PATjE is handled and promoted by MS Music Promotion, the indie company/label launched by former Unviswision Records radio executive Silvestro Perrina, who met PATjE through former Univision marketing VP Lupe de la Cruz, De la Curz, who know PATjE through a mutual friend, urged the artist to record predominantly in Spanish (French and English are also in the mix) and to change "GOGO" from a bilingual track to Spanish /only fofr a better shot at airplay. PATjE will begin a media tour later this month. - Billboard Magazine August 29, 2009
