Born in Germany to a Sierra Leonean father and a German mother, Patrice grew up listening to Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Champion Jack Dupree, Max Romeo, Buju Banton, dancehall and hip hop music, writing his own songs from the age of 12.

He encouraged Patrice to meet many and interact with many musical acts passing through Germany, sparking an early interest in diverse genres.

Influenced heavily by reggae, skate culture and punk music, Patrice began mixing genres and styles.

Lions began attracting attention from major labels who were interested in the reggae, soul and folk sound of the EP.

This constant output of albums and uncategorizable catalogue became emblematic of Patrice's musical style and allowed him to attract a diverse range of fans and critics.

He gained followings within different fan bases and began to successfully headline Europe's biggest music festivals.

Blues, Hip Hop, Dancehall, singer-songwriter music, Afro-Beat, Rock, philosophy, poetry, and the list is long.

"[2] French newspaper, Le Monde, started using the genre "sweggae" and both they and Patrice describe it as music with reggae undertones with a more modernist take, reflective of someone who created his own culture out of many things.

Patrice continues to tour regularly throughout Europe, North and South America and Africa, often with his house band, The Supowers.

In 2011, Patrice produced Selah Sue's top single, "Ragga Muffin," which was followed by a US version featuring J. Cole.

"[2] Following in his father's footsteps, Patrice delved into film by scoring the documentaries of TED prize winner street artist JR's "Women are Heroes," and "Inside Out."

Patrice commissioned the cultural series, Super Sunday, a monthly event that brought together some of the top musical acts from around the world, and included a spoken word brunch, which featured Saul Williams.

A group of local musicians were selected to form the event's house band after an extensive audition process.

Featured artists have included Youssoupha, Guizmo, Cody ChesnuTT, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Irma and Protoje.
