If you could break upon 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 4th 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. “If I had to choose five artists that my music is really inspired by, it would be John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, Bon Iver, and City and Colour,” says Pattie.

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 after releasing his demo EP only 8 months ago. His previous performance schedule includes festivals such as SXSW 2016 and the Texas Crawfish Festival, and he has been featured on blogs such as Mytacism Music,

Music Notez, and Et Musique Pour Tous.

With a heavy performance schedule in and around Austin, Texas and two national tours booked for the Fall of 2016, he has developed a stellar live show that captivates every audience he performs in front of.

His newest EP, 3 2 1, will be released in August 2016 and will demonstrate his many years of experience in songwriting, 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. He will be releasing his first EP, 3 2 1, this coming August on all major music retailers and will be performing an online show to 50 special quests on August 26th.
