Audiences will be pleased. Singer, songwriter and producer, Patterson indulges his musical appetite and reaches beyond the boundaries of popular music to arrive at his own a signature sound. That sound makes Love in Stereo both unique and accessible. Patterson grew up listening to the music of Chaka Khan, Marvin Gaye and Frankie Beverly and Maze, among others, and credits them with helping to shape his musical vision.

“Well, it’s more than [just influence],” he said. “The Chakas, the Marvins, the Frankie Beverlys…are our musical parents. Because like our birth parents, we take their values and musically the same thing happens. It’s very strong. And it’s the same kind of attachment that you have to your biological parents. People hear the influences. It is the spirit of the same teacher. And then you hear our generation and it takes you back to that original source,” he stated.

Prior to releasing his self-titled debut album in 1997, Patterson did session work with other artists including jazz legend George Duke and pop singer Martika. He also collaborated with producer Keith Crouch and wrote the best-selling single “Baby,” by Brandy.

A prolific songwriter, Patterson wrote ten of the twelve songs on Love and Stereo and served as one of the executive producers. Lyrically, the album covers a range of issues such as domestic violence in "Treat You Like A Queen," desire in “Do You Feel the Way I Do,” and lust with "The Moment." The soothing ballad “It’s Alright Now” talks about love gone bad, while the deceptively sweet sounding “Friend of Mine,” deals with having being betrayed by both a lover and a friend.

On other songs, Patterson expresses an infectious joy on the big band infused “So Right, ” or the sensual “Get Here.” On "The Day," Patterson is at his most ecstatic. He sings with such passion and clarity, the song invigorates the listener. “Sure Boy” can be described as Patterson’s signature tune, an affirmative statement about being himself in the world.
