From the exotic island of Montserrat to the cosmopolitan Montreal, Prince Patrick has been spreading sunny spicy songs about community spirit and the most cheerful sides of life experience to audience young and old. At the tender age of twelve, an under-aged, amazingly talented and ever-aspiring "Private Ryan", (now his official hard earned rank), was welcomed into the five-year music program of the the Montserrat Defense Force. This marks the beginning of his epic journey toward making the music that drives people to dance-Prince Patrick's life-long dream ever since he first tapped his tiny toes. There, he swiftly mastered keyboards, guitar, trumpet and voice, and began gaining ground on songwriting. By the time his sweet sixteenth birthday rolled around, Prince Patrick has already rolled through Antigua. He was such a hit at a major Antigua canival that, after returning to his homeland to complete is gruelling millitary training, he was later summoned back to head up a high-energy Antigua resort band. In no time at all, Patrick and his posse were solely responsible for the dancing and drinking and smilling hundreds upon hundreds of locals and tourists alike through the happy, hazy Caribbean nights! The tropics are still riding Patrick's waves: His brand new, all-original album, "Millennium" (Studio Belham, 2000) hosts fistful of hits all around the Caribbean including Feeling the Vibes, Babylon, Backyard and others. Sales are as hot as his homeland-not only down in Montserrat, throughout the caribbean and in the U.S., but in Canada as well, where he enjoys national distribution on Indiepool. No surprise, since all songs are written, arranged, produced, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Private Ryan himself. A true masterpiece, Millennium is Prince Patrick's second recording, preceded by "Homebound" (Studio Belham, 1999), which has brighten Montreal's airwaves with the support of CKUT and CKRK, in addition, ofcourse, to several shows south of the border.
