Val, Patricia

ARTIST/BAND /GROUP INFORMATION

Since she was a young child, PATRICIA always dreamed of being a performer whether it was in modeling,
acting or singing. Born on June 28 th PATRICIA was raised in Tampa Florida to Haitian parents. She started
singing at the young age of 9 while attending Wharton Senior High School in Tampa. Later she learned
how to play the Viola and also took up Band where she played the Trumpet and sometimes the Piano.

Although Patricia did not practice these instruments much longer, she continued her focus on what she
loved doing best which is singing. Throughout the school years, she continued to take up chorus and
performed in school shows. After graduation from High School, she attended a semester at The
University of South Florida also located in Tampa. Then, she moved to Miami to attend Florida
International University where she studied marketing and practice networking in the music scene while
earning a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

While in College, she wanted to focus on music, acting and modeling. She started out doing runway
modeling in Miami and in the Caribbean. PATRICIA was signed to a modeling agency that landed her an
opportunity to participate in the Ford Supermodel of Jamaica competition, in a Brazilian Bikinis and the
Miami Fashion Show. She has also done a series of various print works for hotels and hair products.

In 2008, PATRICIA was featured on Reggae albums such as Sizzla “Addicted” album, Dance hall artist
Spragga Benz’s Prototype album and Mad Bwoy Anju’s on a tune that featured artist Kevin Lyttle.

In 2010, PATRICIA played a major role in a short film called Mary Jane that premiered in Miami and she
participated in feature work in hit TV series Burn Notic. During that same time, she started working with
talented Haitian artist and producer Nickenson Prud’homme. She recorded three demos that
introduced her to the local music scene. She performed Live at the Haitian Compas Festival in Bay Front
part with Robert Charlot. She also performed at the Blackbird Ordinay, Nutrifest Festival in downtown
Miami and The Jazid in South Beach. During the ensuing years, PATRICIA stayed busy performing every
Monday night at Purdy Lounge in South Beach with the band named JeanPJam and also with The
Ruffhouse Band at Ocean’s Ten and with Visions Band at Margaritavilles in Hollywood Beach.

In 2015, she released “Tek Tegedek”. In 2016, she is singing “It’s too late” a duet with talented singer
Enock Bordes. She is also part of the song “Konpalypso” singing together with artists Mecca Grimo and
Sabine Francoeur. In 2018, it’s her new single “Map Fel” featuring artist “Paluto”.

All these songs will be part of her upcoming album to be released by year’s end. All along, PATRICIA is
keeping it versatile by including different genres of music like Pop and Afro Caribbean rhythms. Indeed,
passion as expressed through her music has been the essence of what has made PATRICIA who she is
today, an artist with an abiding, deep commitment to lyrical honesty and musical integrity. Simply put, if
PATRICIA feels it, she writes and sings it. She’s upfront, always real, using her own distinctive poetry to
breathe life into words, digging inside to bring forth the accompanying emotion.
