About me
Hi, I’m Patrick🙋♂️
I was born in Queensland, Australia before moving to Southampton aged 5🇦🇺
I have had Crohn’s disease since the age of 16 and have battled it ever since. One of my favourite quotes is “It will not beat me, It shall not defeat me, Just because it lives with me, It does not complete me”💜 Having Crohn’s disease will never stop me from being able to live a successful and happy life🤗
I have always been a huge fan of music and have ventured into different roles within the industry. Those including: Promoter, Manager, Intern and, some say most importantly, Lead Singer🎤
I have been the lead singer of Happy2000 since 2018 and have toured Britain and Europe🌎 Touring helps my passion for travelling. We have already played in Liverpool, Leeds and Paris in 2023🇫🇷 We have had singles played on radio and have played with Grammy nominated and Brit award winners Fontaines D.C.
My passions are not solely related to my dreams of being the next Elvis, however. I have been involved in charity work since the young age of 10. I have shaved my head, hosted live stream events in the pandemic and have held music festivals all in the name of charity🎗️All I want to do is leave the world in a better way than what I found it, helping others and making sure that the vulnerable get the services they require❤️
Feel free to send me a message, I’m always open to networking and getting to know likeminded people💬

Promoter's AssistantLove Thy Neighbour
- Brighton, United KingdomInternship
I was responsible for working alongside the Head Promoter in planning events, executing the plan, communicating with internal and external stakeholders, negotiating pay, monitoring the budget, collating data from events on spreadsheets and presenting the information to show Return of Investment (ROI). I analysed data and trends to show where investment was needed to improve performance for the company’s marketing output on social media. A key part of this role was building ongoing, strong relationships with venue and band managers to ensure that the company’s pipeline was strong, especially post-covid.
