Patrick Davis infuses reggae, indie, rock, and hip-hop into an explosive sound that is musical,
passionate and lyrical. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, that has seen the rise of several prolific hip-hop artists (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Kid Cudi, and Machine Gun Kelly), Patrick feels right at home. Patrick Davis also leads Kairos a weekly gathering in the Coventry Arts District in Cleveland, Ohio. Audio from several of his teaching tours throughout the U.S. and Australia are available here. Patrick’s teaching is from an alternative Jewish roots angle with a modern and practical approach. He values deep study and simple application. The practice as much as the study. Most events consist of visual art, live music and teaching. With creative lyricism and a combination of driving, edgy and melodic music, Patrick creates an atmosphere and sound that is powerful, unique and dynamic. He has toured extensively throughout the United States as well as three tours in Australia. Patrick has been recording, writing, teaching and doing shows for over 10 years. After going to prison as a juvenile and almost being sentenced to 45 years for robbery, kidnapping and gun charges, he found out his brother, Larry, was murdered. Instead of allowing it to crush him, it led him to finding his purpose as a musician and international speaker. Patrick has been able to sell thousands of records, travel the U.S. and do three speaking/music tours in Australia all without a record contract. There’s something about reality driven music and teaching that people seem to connect with. The passion and soul of his music and life has been able to transcend genre barriers, clicks and the clichés in both the music and religious world. His music and videos have seen air play and review in the U.K., Africa, Australia, India, U.S.A., and Asia. His latest release, “Every Tribe The World Album” features over 20 artists from 8 different countries. Genre blurring and mind stretching this is his most mature and provocative release to date. Every Tribe was released in late 2011 and Patrick is already working on his newest release which will be a mixture of reggae, live dub-step, hip-hop and rock. |

Hello Patrick, My name is Jamie. I came up to you after your show at Peabody's (a club in downtown Cleveland). I bought your cd. Rap is not my type of music. I'm more of a punk/rock kind of person. But your music I like.. I was getting really bored of the music other groups were doing until you stepped onto the stage. Your music really spoke to me. It caught my attention. When I got home I listened to your cd and it's just wow awesome. Great music. I'm a christian myself. Lately I have been slipping away from God. After I lost my father in December, I slowly started to slip into a dark place. Tonight when I heard your music, it opened my eyes and your music pulled me away from the dark and back into the light. I just wanted to say thank you. Your music means a lot to me. Please let me know when you have a new cd out.. Jamie (Cleveland, Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick, Jacqueline and the rest of the band; I attended your show last night at Fat Jimmy's Bar in Kent, Ohio. I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the show. You guys are a huge inspiration to me and my friend. We talked to you guys after your performance. Our names were Carly and Sara. We took pictures with you guys and your drummmer (John) gave us some drumsticks. We really enjoyed ourselves. I added your myspaces and I hope you guys enjoyed being there as much as we did. Thank you, Sara and Carly. (Kent, Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey man, It's Larry here. We met at the mansfield gig. Me and a few of the others. Just wanted to show you my personal gratitude man. You rocked and the passion you have for God is SO admirable. I praise him for letting our paths cross. We're a somewhat smaller youth group with a great relationship with God. Right now (and always) we are his vessels and he is moving through us. We are all very excited to be involved. We all really received from your message the other night bro and I am hoping to catch you again before you go back to the states. So when and where are you bringin your messages bro? I'll try my hardest to be there. And when is it that you fly back out? Anyways bro take care and God bless! We're praying for your ministry to grow brother. Larry (Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Patrick , This Shannon Masih from Inala , I hope you still remember me I am just writing to you to say that I am fine and I can't stop listening to that CD I purchased from you at church. It gets me thinking when I hear the lyrics and how much you are gratetful for what God has done to help you in your troubled life that you have had. I too have lots of problems, and to hear your songs and the life you had problems with , made me think that if God heard you and helped you through your difficult times , I can try to work hard and worship more and be successful just as you have become. Shannon. (Inala, Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick, That was great! Well worth the wait. It was great to see that place come alive! To see the attention that people paid to you. I had my doubts about that group of spectators. They all seemed so disconnected and disinterested before you took the stage. You had every ones attention. I am glad that I went. It helps to see people that I wouldn't normally run across. Reminds me how many people need Christ. And how different people are from one side of the street to the other. Theresa (Washington) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, My name is Sunny. I was at your show on friday night at Suncoast Youth it was great. you and your wife are such an inspiration........ Talk soon Sunny (Suncoast, Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, You remember me? You came to my church and performed for the "bridge". Later you prayed for me when I broke down crying. Your music is a powerful bandaid. Don't ever stop or give up. Keep on trucking .I still draw, if you need any drawings done, don't be afraid to ask. -Christy. (Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DUDE!!!!! PATRICK!! Your concept rocked on Saturday night!! What a great heart for God you have.. your song suicide made the hairs on the back of me neck go up, and my heart was full of a feeling that God has for the hearts of people that undertake such horrible actions.. I pray that you and your wife are empowered to share your story everywhere.. as it is life changing.. I thank God for your testimony! Make sure you add a comment on my page, so I can refer people to your music and testimony!! Rock on in faith and power in his strength! God Bless!! Deano (Brisbane, Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick, I got em! Thanks so much! It is a little edgier than Till My Last Breath.. I like it. I gotta tell you, your story keeps me going. Seeing how God changes lives never ceases to amaze me. And now, there you go, off to Australia! May He use you both there in a powerful new way that even you don't expect! Theresa (Solon, Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Patrick, How are you doing? You dont know how long I have tried to locate you. Years ago I called Mr. Crayton to see how you ended up. He told me about the rapping and I am very proud of you man. I dont know if you remember me but you were my bunk mate at CHBS. Timothy Schmidt, you were the first person to ever tell me about the Word of God and you were the person who had me believe and saved me. I never forgot about you. I think its great what you are doing, it is so inspiring and it really proves God is real, I remember your story so well and if people really only knew thestatistics you beat, you should be on 60 minutes. I appreciate the email so much I really do. I hope I get a chance to see you one day and I promise that everybody I meet in the Cincinnati, Dayton area will know your story. I am so happy to see what you are doing with your life. I remember our talks and you influenced my life more then you will ever know. I never forgot about you, not one week. I wanted to take the chance to say something I never got to say as a kid. Thank you, thanks for telling me the Word, and that Jesus loves me, I was more lost then, then you will ever know. It truly saved my life and thanks for caring when no one else did to take the time to tell a punk kid that Jesus loves him and there is something better for me. Tim (Dayton, Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey man, First i wanna say you totally rock bro...i was at Citipointe tonight, actually i was the camera guy running around on stage and you totally changed sooo many people... I wanna know, is there anywere i can find your full biography...also i was just wondering...you came out of a really really tough life, you had a lot of bad habits... how were you able to just drop all those habits and become the jesus freak that you are today? coz i have habits that i need to drop, but no one seems to be able to help me drop them...ppl don't wanna admit that they are there..could you gimme some advice? Anyway rock on man, James (Brisbane, Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Pat, Thank you soo much for comming to Australia for your tour. You came to Citipointe Church where i attend, i first saw you in the youth on the friday, then i saw you again on Tuesday night at the creative ministries meeting, and what you spoke on really touched my life. You were talking about worshiping God though all that we do, from singing to lighting, guitar playing, to the cable pulling. I was the cable puller for the night where u were sitting in the seats watching the worship, and the service where you and your wife sang. Before that message on the tuesday night, i just thought that my role was not that important, that i wasnt really serving for Jesus. But through that message, it gave me a new light on what i do. And the Sunday night that you two sung, i was given the oppotunity at the end to do some of the shoulder camera on stage. Which i was told was amaizing for my fist time. So thank you very much for comming and impacting my life. I also bought the CD, and i have some friends that need to listen to what you are singing. I know it will impact their lives. Thank You Jordan (Brisbane, Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey man, Its Davo from Noosa remember me oiy man just wont to say that what you preached about on friday night spoke to me man and its helped me make a step forward in my life through christianity thanks heaps hay for just coming to Australia and doing stuff like this man any way this is my email stay in touch man.

Kellie (Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Patrick, I was at Amplified listening to you perform, you are amazing! Keep up the good work and may God guide you always... Lee (Brisbane, Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey man.. I heard of you from my brother. He saw you at the Cyber Cafe in Bethel, Ohio. He bought one of your cds and let me hear it. I just thought I would tell you that I really like your music. It's really awesome and this is coming from a kid that never listens to rap. I always thought that rap with screaming would sound awesome. I am listening to one of your songs right now. I've been listening to it all day. You can really feel the anointing. It's great that you are a christian and how you have something to say with some meaning.. Mark (Cincinnati, Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick, After reading your note and listening to your music, I am certain that we are fighting in the same mission field. I pray that God will continue to bless you in every way possible. I believe deeply in what you are doing and would love to have you and your group come to our church.. Rob (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yo kid, I came across your songs download.com, and it hit me. I hit a brick wall in life recently, was left screaming for help and received in a way that I never expected. I feel your music unlike I've felt any in a long time. I want to know where I could cop your whole cd.. Mike (Detroit, Michigan) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick, You helped me a lot, thanks. I still listen to the cds you sent me and I watched the DVD the other day. Things are going a lot better. I'm getting closer to God. I really like your music and that you do it for God, that's why I support you. Besides you helped me get through all that stuff I was going through.. Becky (California) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yo, Patrick, I really liked your music. I love rap music. I like the style of music that you use. Has a real street approach to it, that I think will reach a lot of people. There's a lot of feeling in your songs that you can feel through the lyrics. I just want to say that some of the songs have touched me. Robie (Cleveland, Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey what's up, Got your message, it's pretty cool how you write back. I heard your music from soundclick. You said you listen to Underoath, that's pretty cool, I like them as well. I'm from Illinios, (Peoria). Anyways I like the songs, "Cry", "Suicide Letter", and "Last Breath". The lyrics are awesome like I said before you rap about real stuffI I have myself experienced some of the things that you rap about. It's cool man, I usually only listen to Black/Death Metal. Then I heard some of your songs and your lyrics are incredible. You sing about life and the real stuff pretty cool. JC (Peoria, Illinios) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick, It's about time a rapper with talent put it to good use. Your love for God shows through your lyrics and the message is real. Unknown (USA) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Patrick, I'm Jon's cousin, Darlene. I just want to thank you for your ministry to the teens at Jon's funeral, and memorial the past few days. I spoke with you after the funeral luncheon and mentioned that your music reminded me of Eminem's and the Jon really would've gotten into your music. He could relate to Eminem because just like Jon, He didn't know his dad and his mom was only partially present in his life. His friends knew this. So I find it very fitting and God ordained that his passing and your music have intertwined at a time when his friends are most open to receiving Christ. They are a good group of guys. I pray your music and their contact with either the CNC or Vermillion Assembly youth group will lead them to know Christ. You deserve so many thanks for totally going out of your way to minister to the friends of a boy you didn't even know.. You would've liked him. I pray God's best to you, your family and your ministry.. Thanks again.. Darlene (Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, Patrick, This is Chelsie. I was at John's funeral today. I just wanted to thank you for showing support for my boys family and for all my friends. I am pretty tight with all these dudes out here and they are having some rough times. But you've been through some loses, I read your bio and it was awesome for these kids to have someone who can relate to what they are going through. I believe in what you are doing, it's a good cause keep it up, and I'll see you at the church.. Thanks so much.. Chelsie (Ohio) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick, My mate, the guy that cable pulled for me that night you came to Citipointe found the dvd promo on your site...its really good man...It's weird coz i tell all my mates, aww we had the best dude come preach to us...you should hear his story and when they do they like...are you serious?! Your life story man is soo intense and soo full of struggles and stuff it is just crazy... people look at you and think if God loves him then he can love me too...It's surprising how God works...Anyway if you guys come back to qld you haveto let me know aiight coz i got mates that need to hear you, mates that need to talk to someone who understands what they're goin through... James (Queensland, Australia) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Patrick, I saw you perform at Cornerstock this evening. I just wanted you to know that the song you wrote your mom really ministered to me. I am a single mom raising 3 kids. My husband left for another woman. We were a military family before the divorce, and moved 17 times in 18 years with the Navy. I've fought very hard to give my kids stability and love in the midst of so much difficulty, but since my husband left, my oldest son who's 16, has really taken a dark road. In many ways I have felt like all the years I have tried so hard have just become a heaping pile of ruins, and that none of the love and truth I've tried to give my kids has had an impact. Your music inspired me to stand tall and keep shining the love of Christ and to keep praying for them-that it does matter, and it isn't for nothing. I will remember your music when I begin to feel a loss of hope. God can do a beautiful thing with a pile of ruins. I really needed to hear your performance, and I will not forget it. It meant a great deal to me. Thank you so much. See you in glory! Your sister in Christ, Susanne (Akron, Ohio) |
