To date: he has produced 3 solo albums, (For Your Love-2003) (Unto You-2006) (Elohim-2008)
Patrick has been involved in the music industry since 1997, performing as a backing vocalist for major artistes such as Wang Lee Hom, Sheila Majid & Siti Nurhaliza. A significant breakthrough in his singing career occurred in 2002 when Patrick opened the late Pavarotti's Concert for the Asian Global Leadership Forum which was held on the 7th of September that year in Pangkor Laut. June 2003 saw the formation of Oops! Asia as well as the release of his debut album "For Your Love" which contains a tapestry of his life experiences & faith.

The songs in "For Your Love" are borne out of both the good & bad experiences in Patrick's life & the lives of the people around him. Events and happenings in the world also play a big part in the music that Patrick writes. The song "Open Arms" for example is a message of comfort to those who lost loved ones in the Bali terrorist attacks that occurred on 12th October 2002. The song is based on Psalm 73:23 which speak these words of comfort:

"Yet I am always with You; You hold me by my right hand"

In essence Patrick's music is inspired by people because we are all different in character & nature which is what makes life interesting. At the end of the day all, Patrick wants to give his best in the here & now; impacting lives through the songs that he writes. To be who God created him to be and to use his God-given gifts & talents to the fullest and at the end of it all to hear these words from his Maker:

"Welcome home my good and faithful servant"

Besides his music Patrick is an avid tennis player and still coaches kids to play in his spare time.
Patrick currently works full-time at co-found and co-owner of Oops Asia Sdn Bhd based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
