Edit history

Born and raised in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, TJ Patrick has been working towards something special. He creates songs that shed light on stories of raw, personal experiences with a delicate and gentle nature. His flair for song writing was developed during a stint working alongside Aria award winning producer One Above. The pair wrote and recorded music for some of Australia’s finest artists. TJ’s bluesy, melodic guitar playing can be heard on records by Urthboy, PEZ, Drapht and the Hilltop Hoods’ platinum selling single, ‘Higher’. “There’s an incredible attention to detail in pop music, which gives it such intensity. Working on music with these artists gave me an invaluable education in how to conjure up that kind of energy.” However, it was a tour of the USA that really captured his love for folk music. Sound tracked by the likes of Paul Simon, Dolly Parton and Gillian Welch, TJ embarked on a tour of the south playing at some of America’s most famous songwriter venues
