She sang a unique mix of cabaret, big band, vaudeville, pre-war styled chansons as well as extraordinary stage outfits.
In 1989 she signed with EMI and released her debut album Eine Frau für die Liebe, which contained songs in German, English, French, Italian and Hungarian.
She gained critical acclaim for the CD and the live shows, and had a hit single with “Keukenhof.” The same year she also composed the music for the movie Het Tenenkaas Imperium.
At the end of 1991 Patty returned to the stage with her second CD La Gabbia D’Oro (EMI), an Italian opera which she wrote with Peter van Hintem and Indera Nicolina.
It was a journey through India that inspired Patty to write her next CD Lotusfeet (2002), an intense collection of songs based on Indian poems, translated into English and recorded with only piano, accordion and violin and for the first time released under her own name.
