Patrick Lew (Official SC)'s SoundClick page

My name is Patrick Lew. Japanese and Taiwanese. Age 27. I currently live in Northern California in between Antioch and San Francisco. About one year ago, I graduated from college at the California State University, East Bay, with a B.A. in Philosophy and a minor in Music. I've been playing punk/hard rock music for quite a long awhile already. I am mostly a rhythm guitarist, and to some extent, a bass player. I've been playing and creating my own brand of garage punk music since I was an 8th grader at the infamous Rooftop Middle School. I was jamming and freelancing in temporary local rock bands since let's say 1999 with my friends.

I struggled and procrastinated for many years as a guitarist, songwriter, and musician. Most of the local based Bay Area garage bands I played rock & roll music with, were for the most part unsuccessful and had a short-term existence as far as being a band goes. I procrastinated a lot while learning how to play rock-based guitar.

It wasn't until 2009, when I was able to fully develop my own distinct style and sound as a guitarist and as a musician in freelance jam band moments temporarily, and this was pretty much the same time, I took my music and musical entrepreneurship full-time to see where music gets me as far as long-term benefits and rewards goes! In 2009, I basically after plowing through aborted or unsuccessful local post-hardcore/punk bands for a long while, I pursued my current band as a solo musician under various guises.

Other than that, I've been promoting myself online as a rock musician since May of 2001 while I was in high school still. And I have the best friends and best beloved fiancee Faith Marie, who is also responsible for some of the cool musical entrepreneurship!
