Rahsaan Patterson bio

There are some artists who win the devotion of a loyal fanbase through sheer quality and uniqueness. Rahsaan Patterson is one of those artists, and for more than two decades, he has sustained a successful career that has not been dependent on hits. Indeed, he is one of a dying breed—a true album artist whose “all killer, no filler” albums make coherent artistic statements, delivered by the instantly recognizable beauty of his singing. Growing up as a child television star alongside Fergie and Mario Lopez on the long-running Disney Channel show Kids Incorporated, Patterson entered the music business as a celebrity. The likes of Brandy and Van Hunt have recorded his songs; he has collaborated with Rachelle Ferrell, Ledisi, and Faith Evans; and such luminaries as Chaka Khan are fans. His boundary-stretching impulse led him to record a reboot of his critically acclaimed Heroes & Gods album with noted house music producer Quentin Harris, resulting in a house music remix version released as Heroes & Gods 2.0 (Reimagined). Patterson stands as one of the finest and most unique artists of our time.
