Jon Pattie

If you could break open the cells of Jon Pattie and code his DNA, you would probably find eighth notes where the nitrogenous bases should be. Eighth notes would be connected to guitar strings instead of phosphate groups. If you’re wondering why in-depth biological terms are being used to describe him, it’s because along with studying music since the 8th grade, he is a 5th year student at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a chemical engineering degree. He’s also pre-med.

Although he has a great deal of proficiency in math and science, he has always had a deep-seeded passion for playing music, beginning at age 13 when he first picked up a guitar. He takes inspiration from some of today’s greatest musicians including John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, Bon Iver, and City and Colour.

His dedication and drive to make a name for himself in today’s industry astonishes many and can clearly be seen through the progress he has made in less than a year. His previous performance schedule includes festivals such as SXSW 2016 and the Texas Crawfish Festival and has toured in California and Minnesota. He has played over 100 live sets in less than a year which has helped him develop a stellar and engaging live show that involves all audience members.

His newest EP, 3 2 1, was released in August 2016 and demonstrated his many years of experience in songwriting, producing, singing, and guitar playing. His music uses common themes found in today’s popular music while also incorporating a personal, unique, jazzy touch and chord progressions that mirror the music of John Mayer. 3 2 1 is on all major music retailers including iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon Music, and more!
