DJing since '99, 2 Phat Pat has had his fair share of events having rocked events from Los Angeles to as far as Syracuse. What originally began as a hobby playing at house parties quickly turned into an obsession, Pat entered the DJing circuit back in '99 thanks to a longtime friend and fellow DJ, Flite. Spinning Hard House and Progressive Trance early in 2000's, Pat's popularity grew strong thanks to the help of Surreal Ent. At one point was dubbed the, "Jon Bishop of Tucson." "Jon was one my strongest influences as a DJ back then. I was always told in order to be a great DJ, mimic or try to impersonate your favorite DJ, and soon enough you'll evolve into your own." Having played amongst the elite of DJ's; DJ Dan, Christopher Lawrence, Jon Bishop, Sandra Collins, John Kelley, Electric Skychurch, Darude, DJ Irene, Wolfgang Gartner, Dave Aude, just to name a few, Pat has come into his own style of music. 2003-2004 Pat started spinning house. "I love how house music puts a smile of your face and makes your body move that I wanted to be in control of the music that makes me feel that way."
2004 2 Phat Pat and Surreal Ent. had gone separate ways due to indifference's. 2005 Pat met Matthew Harris and things really took off. "I really have to go out on a limb and say that I owe some of my success to Matthew for getting the word out and giving me the opportunities to do what I love doing, mixing music."
2008-current: You can find Pat spinning Hip-Hop, Top 40, Rock, and Dance in various local spots, but will always have his love for House Music. "If Damion (DJ Hazardous) hadn't given me the tools and know how to mix Hip-Hop and such, I wouldn't have the appreciation for music that I have now. Much love and appreciation goes out to DJ Tonic as well. His appreciation for DJ's and their talents is unrivaled. He really has pushed the limits of local DJ's stepping up their game. When he books talent, you had better bring your A-Game!!!!"
Much love and respect to everyone that has helped me along the way!!!!! I do this for you, and can't do this without you!!!!!
Stay tuned as mixes become readily available on Soundcloud.com
