Born to a Chinese father and a Japanese mother of mixed descent, Patrick Lew's journey in music really began in 2001 while he was still in high school and eventually playing in various bands. He later attended California State University East Bay in Hayward, CA, and graduated with a B.A in Philosophy and minored in Music Composition. After the creation of his fictional twin sister Madeline Lew through special effects and Photoshop Patrick then transitioned into making his own music with the Patrick Lew Band. It was during this period of evolution that the Band’s creativity and undeniable talent began to shine through. They ultimately developed a style of making music that is transparent, daring, full of hope and reflective of their experiences. The band’s goal is to become a voice of the Asian-American community and shed light to an underrepresented minority. The band is focused on becoming a worldwide phenomenon and touching as many lives as possible regardless of race, age, religion and sexual orientation. The music is an encapsulation of their thoughts and ambitions, turning pain into purpose and lessons into studio sessions.
They will be releasing more music that will serve as motivation to face the new challenges that every day brings. This is the music that will push the boundaries of our perception as well as inspire and drive us to introspective conversations. It’s the music that may not change the world, but can change the people in the world.
