Patrice Lee

Q1.Hello Patrice When did you start your career as an artist ?

I started my career as an artist 5 years ago but as a writer 18 years ago.

Q2.What drove you to sing and at first what got you addicted to it ?

I've always had an appreciation for music from as early as I can remember. I used music as therapy growing up rough.What got me addicted to music was being able to use my voice as an additional instrument with a beat.

Q3.What keeps you motivated in order to keep on creating music ?

I would have to say being inspired by life keeps me motivated to keep creating music. It is fascinating how different sounds and lyrics can create a powerful mood.

Q4.What is your writing process or approach to a song ?

When I approach a song it's all about the art of thought. Sounds can bring back a memory or give you a certain feeling. So I typically vibe with the music first and let the vocals and lyrics flow naturally.

Q5.What part of song making appeals to you the most and what you dislike the most about it ?

I love the Vocal Arranging part of Music. The intricate details in vocals. I don't have a dislike per se' only because I love the freedom of creativity.

Q6.In your opinion what has been lost in the art of modern day music if any at all and how do you contribute to the lost art ?

What has been lost in music in my opinion is the art of Love. It seems as though people focus more on the production versus the writing and music/vocal skill of Music. Story telling has seem to disappear. What I bring to the table is that "Lost Art" of storytelling and emotion in music.

Do you think there should be a clear distinction between underground, Indie and commercial artists or they all create art with in their given capacity and there is no difference between these categories ?

There is not a difference between the categories as far as talent is concerned. I would say the separation would be how the artists/companies are utilizing marketing. It seems the bigger the budget the more publicity versus talent alone.



Q7.What else do you do aside from music and how did that change come about or what are your goals outside of music and how do you intend to achieve them ?

I am also apart of the business of Music. As a founding member, I look forward to being able to nurture another Artist or two and perhaps assist them with their vision as an artist. I've always been Business Oriented so being apart of the Label is really important. Outside of Music I love cooking. So a concept restaurant in the very near future would be awesome.

Q8.Is there an art to music marketing and promotion on the business side or it is just what ever amount of money you throw it will help you grow ?

I would say there is definitely an art to marketing and promotion. I prefer the Organic fan base only because you know for sure people are actually listening and the marketing isn't creating a false reality.

Q9.How many friends have you made in the music business and how many friends before you entered the music business are still with you till this day ?



Q10.Do you think there is a certain formula to making a hit song or has this term been overly used because packaging and presentation is all that matters ?

I wouldn't say there is a formula it's all based on what people are feeling. I believe most songwriters and artists may feel like a certain song is a hit but it really depends on the listeners.

Q11.How many artists have you mentored along the way or helped who have never looked back ever since ?


Q12.What are your personal experiences in the music business and how has that helped you with your career ?


My personal experiences in the music business so far has been pleasant. I've always taken pride in remaining humble and true to self no matter what and that has seem to work best for me.

Q13.What is your advice for the up and coming artists who are trying to make a name for themselves ?

My advice to up and coming artists would be to study the business and be aware of who you are and what you want out of your career.

Q14.Your thoughts over the current digital music streams and their impact over ranking and is this a disadvantage for a lesser known artist or not ?

With Digital Music streams it is a bit of a challenge but nothing impossible to achieve as far as ranking. It's all about putting the work in and awareness of your music.

Q15.Is building a catalogue important for an artist or just to catch a hit and see how it goes from there ?

Building a catalogue is definitely important for an artist. With how fast the music evolves it's like you have to constantly release music in order to remain relevant.

Q16.Do you have any up and coming projects and when are they going to be released ?

Currently "Nitecap" the EP is scheduled for Release on November 15th. I have a follow up EP shortly thereafter called "Fuckin Wit Feelins" and then my first official album early 2019.

Q17.Last but not the least can you let our readers know if they can see you performing any where in the near future ?

We are currently setting up a tour schedule for 2019 which I am so excited about. So I will have updates soon. - Promote HipHop

What's good Soufburg family today I'm excited about this guest. This lovely lady is blazing a trail for htose who really love the art of music. Without further ado Patrice Lee.

SB : Lady P Got a min for the 3 question interview?

PL : Let's go!

SB : First off it's a privilege to have you on our platform. Tell us how long have you been singing?

PL : Thank you I really appreciate the opportunity. Ummm, Personally I've been singing since the age of twelve, Professionally, I have been writing and sing music since I was nineteen. My first mixtape was "Life itself" and from there, I ghost wrote for a few artists until I dropped my second mixtape "Unspoken" and then "Stand Alone" and now here I am...

SB : Dope you've been doing your thing for minute. Who and what inspired you to tap into your talent?

PL : Yes sir. Well believe it or not, my mother. Yeah she was a huge inspiration to me. She did some background singing for while before I came into the world, so she use to walk around the house singing and I would mimic the sounds she made.

SB : Mothers are our first teachers and inspiration bless her for that. Truly can appreciate a support system like that!

PL : Yeah she's my heart.

SB : Moving forward what is your ultimate goal for your music and your brand?

PL : I love this question... I'm a simple woman so I would love to have everyone to hear the music and enjoy it. I'm not into the whole makeup and pretty girl theme. So I would love for everyone to see me for who I am and for the music I make not for how I look or what I am wearing. That's why the album cover (Fuckin Wit Feelins. Coming in August) don't have my face on it. I don't care to much about fame, I just enjoy making good music. I hope that answers your question. Lol

SB: Lol Yasss!

PL : LOL Thank You!

SB : I dig it you have a very music driven brand which I love.

PL : I mean... At the end of the day, that's what it's all about the music not so much the image. People get so carried away with how you look that they will judge your music based on that alone and that is crazy to me. I Love the feel and soul of music.

SB : That's true all day the masses are being driven to exclude substance. If music doesn't touch or move you in some way it's just noise.... That's how I feel don't quote me lol

PL : You should he quoted on that though

SB : Lol I feel that. Well Lady Patrice as we wrap up this dope interview any closing remarks for our audience?

PL : Yes. First, shots out to my team and Label 4HM Ent. Thank you to all that support what I do. Thank you for hearing the music and respecting my lane. I love and appreciate you all for rockin wit ya girl... Peace and Blessings.

SB : You're more than welcome we appreciate your talent and love for the art of music. Thank you for your time and energy. That's it another one for the journal! Listen for Patrice Lee on Urban Intel Radio! - Urban Intel Magazine
