About PATRICELIVE

PatriceLIVE is a singer, songwriter, marketing professional, entrepreneur, and philanthropist from the Washington, DC/ metropolitan area. A rising entertainer and blossoming music mogul in the DMV area, PatriceLIVE has set the bar for new artists by combining her marketing genius and natural stage presence to simultaneously deliver the soul of R&B music, the appeal of pop music, and the fiery energy of Rock ‘n’ Roll into every performance. 

Her journey into the industry started at age five when she won local pageants and talent contests. She honed her craft during her adolescence and was coached by her grandfather, a Grammy-nominated gospel singer. She joined Richard Smallwood’s Children of the Gospel and was a student at the prestigious performing arts school Germantown High School in Memphis, TN. At age 15, she penned C.H. Flowers High School’s school song, “A Mecca of Excellence,” which remains the school’s alma mater. 

To strengthen her stage performance and learn to engage an audience successfully, she performed with several R&B and go-go bands in DC, performed as a backing vocalist for major artists, and joined a corporate agency band. 

In 2015, she released her debut album, Ghosts of Boyfriends Past. In November 2017, she released her highly acclaimed sophomore album, Wonder Woman, with the gogo-infused lead single “Promise” and ladies’ anthem “Dope Gold.” To support both albums, she has opened for industry giants like Brandy, Teyana Taylor, Monica, Keke Wyatt, and Chrisette Michelle.

As an innovative and powerhouse marketer, she has over 15 years of marketing, branding, communications, advertising, and public relations experience across several sectors, including the nonprofit and trade association industries. She has been pivotal in developing several marketing initiatives with companies like H&R Block, Make-A-Wish America, and The Washington Chorus. She is currently the Director of Marketing for the Prince George's Community Federal Credit Union and is an MBA candidate at George Washington University. 

Outside of her personal music endeavors, PatriceLIVE is a well-sought-after talent booking agent, creative director, songwriter, vocal producer, and music business educator. She is a member of the DC Grammy Chapter and has hosted and served as a guest speaker for several national music education and women-empowerment events. She is also an active community member, budding fitness enthusiast, and mother of two. 

In 2024, she will release a 3-part EP, Sequins, Suits & Sweatpants, and will relaunch a music-based educational series with co-host and bassist Candra Rutledge. 

Her mission is to pave the way for more Creatives to have the tools, education, and resources to succeed in both entertainment and their personal lives.
