Patrice Bart Williams, also known as Patrice, is a singer, composer, producer and director from Germany and Sierra Leone. In 20 years, he has released a dozen albums. His music is a blend of reggae, soul, punk, folk and hip-hop. He settled in Jamaica in 2020 and decided to build a studio in the middle of the forest. This atypical location became a meeting place for artists and inspired Patrice to explore new territory. Patrice returns in 2023 with a new album entitled 9, marked by rebirth and the symbolism of the color blue. This album is the result of seven years' work, a veritable introspection into the depths of his emotions. "I was born on the 9th, the day my grandfather passed away. The notion of rebirth has always been present in my life, from my very first day. For my ninth studio album, I took the time to withdraw, to rebuild myself. The last seven years have been devoted to self-discovery, and it's this inner journey that has given life to this album." --Patrice

2010 release. One synthesizes a career spanning 12 years, of a debut in Jamaican reggae passing on to soul, rock, and even English folk. Patrice has tamed many styles in the course of four albums, rich in their colors and facets. The 13 tracks on One contribute to his discography of electric and homogeneous sounds. For this album, Patrice has incorporated spices from the four corners of the world: in London, he summoned a dozen violinists from the female orchestra Demon Strings, directed by Izzi Dunn (Gorillaz, Blur), with whom he had already worked on his album Nile. In New Jersey, he had worked with Grammy award-winning producer Commissioner Gordon who had already worked on his previous album. In Jamaica, he solicited old friends, like the legendary saxophonist Cedric IM Brooks and The Skatalites. He also included his new experiences with Sly And Robbie on the track "Nobody Else's." The entire album was mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Amy Winehouse, The Kills) and by Patrice himself in his studio in Cologne, Supow Studio. As the artist himself explains: "I would like to avoid digital; I prefer analog. I treated the sound of this album the same way rappers used to treat samples, to give it a warm but modern aspect."
