Pat Smith is a rising star in the world of R&B, known for his sultry voice, witty lyrics, and rhythmic piano playing. Blending smooth melodies with rich storytelling, Pat has crafted a unique sound that resonates with listeners across the globe. But behind the soulful music and powerful performances lies a story of resilience, determination, and self-discovery. Born and raised in Cheverly, MD. Pat was introduced to music at an early age. By the time he was a teenager, he was already composing his own songs, drawing on the influences of artists like Marvin Gaye, Ben Folds, and Stevie Wonder, while also developing a penchant for lyrics that were sharp, clever, and laced with a sense of humor. However, at 19, Pat made a life-altering decision to enlist in the U.S. Navy, choosing to serve aboard a Ballistic submarine. His time in the Navy profoundly shaped his perspective, both as an individual and as an artist. The solitude and isolation of submarine life became a fertile ground for songwriting, where Pat penned his first songs reflecting on themes of love, loneliness, and addiction.
