Dave Patten

Dave Patten is a musician, writer, producer and actor. In 2013, Patten published his first novel, "Run of The Mill," a dramatic story about a rich playboy who must come to terms with his demons.

Patten grew up in Philadelphia, entrenching himself in the music scene there. As he made a name for himself in local venues, he continually strived to learn and grow as an artist. He continuously searches out unique and interesting projects that allow him any and all opportunities for creative outlet.

Patten's career trajectory and creative drive can all be connected to his love of music. Growing up around everything from classical to R&B, Dave quickly took to the drums, mastering his skill-set with local bands. However, he didn't stop there, conquering the piano, guitar, bass, trumpet, trombone and cello, which not only allowed him to hone his unique sound, but also to write and produce his own music.

With a mix of acoustic, rock and synthesized melodies, his cross-genre style has garnered much attention. In 2006 Dave began posting videos on YouTube, amassing over 60 million page views and a social network following numbering in the thousands, and growing exponentially.
