The Real Patrick Baker

Patrick Baker, a Nashville, TN based producer and vocalist first gained his popularity roughly a year ago, through his numerous collaborations with many renowned artists including; Russian producer, 5 Reasons, and German electro-disco producer, Satin Jackets. Since then, he has built a name for himself amongst fans of many different genres, and continues to craft quality lyrics and vocals, as well as produce his own music. 

Was there a turning point in your life when you discovered you wanted to be a musician? Or was it more of a gradual process? Describe for your fans, briefly, why you decided to go into the music business.

"I think for me there have been some turning points for sure, but it's been more of a gradual process.  Music definitely runs in my family.  My father played saxophone in a band and both my uncles played guitar in bands and also wrote and recorded songs in their home studios."  

"But actually hip-hop was what initially inspired to create my own music.  I remember writing my first rap one night and shortly after that I begged my parents to buy me a Yamaha keyboard for Christmas.  It had a built in sequencer so I immediately started making beats and recording rhymes over them.  A few years later I discovered rock music and became obsessed with learning to play guitar.  Eventually those two passions intersected when I put together my studio started producing.  It's taken me a while to get decent at producing though.  I've found that you really have to work at it just like learning an instrument.  "

Where do your inspirations lie? Name a few artists who inspired your music.

In terms of overall artistry Jeff Buckley is one of my all time favorite artists along with The Beatles, Prince, Beck, U2, Maxwell, and Ryan Adams.  But I'm also very inspired by newer artists like Haim, Shy Girls, FKJ, Disclosure, Mitch Murder, RAC and Oliver.

Heres an easy one; what is your favorite pizza topping? 

"Onions."

What is your favorite pastime? Apart from making music, what do you do to keep yourself entertained?

"I love finding new music.  Also, traveling, video games, reading, and Twilight Zone re-runs."

Any plans for the near future? Do you have any projects coming up? 

"I have a several collaborations that are finished and waiting for release.  At the moment I'm focusing on my own songs though.  I probably have 50+ tracks in progress and from that hopefully I'll get 5 finished songs ha ha.  I'm working on a classic new jack swing track that I may release as my next single and hoping to follow with an EP soon."

What is your favorite television show or movie? 

"Well, at the moment I'm binge watching "How I Met Your Mother".  But as far as all time favorite I'd say Twilight Zone."

Favorite alcoholic drink? 

"I'm a sucker for a good sangria.  Barring that, it's hard to beat a Corona with lime."

A few questions for the artist

Who are the artists who you would consider most influential to yourself?

“I think we have all been influenced unwittingly by Daft punk, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder more recently Kavinsky.

I listen to a lot of music (80's funk, metal, hip hop, electro, G-funk, rock and more). So I think all these styles influenced me, involuntarily.

Currently artists like: Bestrack, Starcadian, Daze, Besnine, to go even farther. I have tremendous respect for their work.”

 Is being a musician a full time thing for you, or do you make music on the side of having a full time job?

“I make music with pure passion, that's why I do not have a Bandcamp. Warning, I do not mean to offend any artists who possess a Bandcamp page. Instead, I try to share my music with all the people who like my music and I regularly send my songs to people who ask for it!”

 When did you become interested in becoming a musician?

“I have always been more than interested in music since I was young, but I got into it seriously 5 years ago. I used to play sports at a high level so I used trained a lot, but I hurt myself so I had to take time off and that’s when music became evident to me. “

Do you have a favorite scary movie, if so what is it?

“"He is back!” I believe the English title is "It" This movie traumatized my whole generation!!!”

Any new work on the way? EPs, singles etc.

“I am working on several projects at the moment but I will not say too much, as I would like to keep the suspense. ;-)”

 What do you do for fun, besides make music?

“Nothing.”
