the past several years by singing and songwriting professionally with
various other musicians from the Long Island area.
Her influences as a child were
artists such as Diana Ross, Ronnie Spector, Mary Wells.....and many
other female vocalists. Patti spent many years perfecting her skills,
while singing into her HAIRBRUSH in front of her mirror at home! Years
later she decided to take it more seriously and worked with a few
vocal teachers eventually meeting the man who had the largest influence
on her. This man is vocal teacher Danny Richards who saw her potential
and brought out the best of her talent. She still trains with him
to this day! Starting out, she worked with a man named Matty Kurlowitz
in his band called Sunrock, which was spiritually influenced. Matty
invited Patti to Join the band which gave her the start she needed
to live that childhood dream. To this day, he is oneof the most influential
people in her life..She also sang in the choir at the church she grew
up in and attended regularly, St. Martin of Tours, Bethpage, NY and
is still a part of today.
Her friend Joe Rock got her
confidence up performing live at his open mikes and Patti also worked
with him on many occasions. He has also been a big inspiration in
her career. Patti joined B D Jones (the drummer from Sunrock, now
playing guitar) and began performing as a duet in local coffeehousesand
with out fail they always pack the place. During her Sunrock days,
she also had a hand in starting a band called Three's Company , which
consisted of 2 other musicians. Laurie Roland (guitar and back round
