"For me, music is the heart and soul of life. When I create, sing and share music, I feel joy."

Singer/songwriter and poet Patrice Mason lives in Los Angeles, California. Patrice started her career traveling the world performing American classic songs and French chansons. At the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel she won rave reviews for her one woman show, "Love". Her CD of original material, "Beautiful Day" achieved critical acclaim in Japan and is offered on iTunes. "Colors of Life" is a collection of sixty poems written from August 2009 to October 2010 reflecting her creativity and joie de vivre.

music

"When I compose, the melody and lyrics often come intertwined. The words usually tell me what they need.

On 'Les Animaux' the lyrics came to me in English, French & Italian. I worked with Italian composer sound designer, Yairo Evrielli on the arrangement & recording. He helped me understand my own song! Grazie Yairo!".

Colors of life
Red blue yellow
Echoing emotions
Feelings of the rainbow
All days all moments
All dreams all hopes
Purple orange green
Kaleidoscope
Freedom choice
Golden love
Passion desire
Await in the moment
Ever circling time
Honey colored
Effervescence

creativity

 

In the quiet
Listening
Sometimes hearing
Life
Reflected in sound
In words
Alone in the dark
She visits
Melody
Touching the shoulder
Whispering quietly
Stirring the soul

reviews

— Cinegrill

...a beautiful voice and unusual style specializing in French chansons....our highest recommendation!

— Swing Journal Tokyo, Japan.

Sensual, plaintive, haunting... Patrice is one of a kind.

— Todd Urbonas

I was mesmorized .. didn't know what to expect from song to song. "Quand tu" is a classic. Keep up the good work.

— Lackey
