Patrice

**Patrice** (born Patrice Bart-Williams) is a German singer-songwriter and reggae fusion artist known for his soulful voice, genre-blending sound, and messages of love and social consciousness. Born in Cologne in 1979 to a Sierra Leonean father and German mother, Patrice began his career in the late ’90s, merging reggae, hip-hop, and R&B into a style that feels both rootsy and modern. His breakout album *Ancient Spirit* (2000) cemented his reputation as a heartfelt storyteller, and he’s since built a loyal following with albums like *Nile’s Daughter* (2005) and *Fire* (2019).

Recent tracks like the hopeful anthem *SUN IS OUT*, the introspective *SINN*, and the festive *All I Want for Christmas* showcase his versatility, while live recordings like *Raw & Uncut / Live in Paris* highlight his dynamic stage presence. Patrice’s music often balances personal reflection with universal themes—think love anthems (*SUCH IS LOVE*), motivational grooves (*Finish Line*), and collaborations that bridge cultures (*ONE LOVE*). Whether he’s dropping fiery reggae jams or stripped-back acoustic ballads, his work stays grounded in authenticity and positivity.
