Hailing from The Bronx, New York, Rahsaan Ngi Patterson is the middle of 3 children, and is named for the saxophonist Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
After appearing in a school talent show, in 1984 Patterson auditioned for the television show "Kids Incorporated". He was cast as "the kid", and remained on the show for the next few years.
After "Kids Incorporated", Patterson gained experience as a backup vocalist for several artists (including "Kids" costar Martika). Following Patterson's notable vocal contributions on Colour Club's self titled album, as well as writing for other artists ( he co-penned Brandy's hit "Baby"), he signed with MCA and, collaborating with Keith Crouch and Jamey Jaz, among others, released his own self-titled debut in 1997.
Almost univerally praised by critics, the album failed to find a large audience (the single "Where You Are" did receive attention on R&B radio), although Patterson developed a loyal following both in the United States and abroad.
Patterson went to work on his followup, LOVE IN STEREO, still working with Jaz but this time also collaborating with Van Hunt, among others. When LOVE IN STEREO was released in late 1999 it received, if anything, better reviews than its predecessor, and although the mainstream may have overlooked it, LOVE IN STEREO was key to further increasing Rahsaan's already growing fanbase.
Although Patterson and MCA parted ways, he remained busy, continuing to perform live (and building his reputation as an exceptionally dynamic live performer) and contributing to both soundtracks ("Brown Sugar") and compilation albums (Steve Harvey's SIGN OF THINGS TO COME), while working on his next album.
AFTER HOURS, Patterson's third album, was released internationally earlier in 2004, again garnering excellent reviews. With the forming of his own label, Rahsaan Patterson saw the US release of AFTER HOURS in late October, 2004.

CHECK THIS OUT
Hello!!!! I’m a HUGE music fan just like
you!!! I know that I hate getting emails that
are un-related to the groups I’ve joined, but
I have come to my fellow music fans for help
with something....
I am not sure if you have heard Guy
Sebastian. But I am here to introduce what
Guy Sebastian music is all about.
So here it goes...
One of Australia's most loved artists Guy
Sebastian returns with his brilliant new
album 'Beautiful Life', set to
establish Guy as a bonafide STAR!! Released
in October 2004, 'Beautiful Life' has
already passed Platinum sales here in Oz and
spawned two massive smash hits - 'Out With
My Baby' (which scored an MTV AVMA for
Best Pop Video) and 'Kryptonite' - with
a third well and truly shaping up with his
scorching new single 'Oh Oh'.
'Beautiful Life' was written and
recorded over six months in several different
cities including LA, Stockholm, London,
Melbourne and Sydney, with numerous
distinguished writers, producers and artists
contributing, including Damon Elliott
(Beyonce, Pink), Bloodshy & Avant (Justin
Timberlake, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson),
Brian McKnight (Boyz II Men), Robyn Thicke
('Out With My Baby' and 'When I Get
You Alone'), as well as US R&B diva Mya,
who duets with Guy on the slow-burning
'Forever With You'.
This fourteen-track album, which in the main
part Guy co-wrote and also co-produced,
offers fans a true insight into emarkable
talent of Guy Sebastian. A stunning testament
to his musical vision, 'Beautiful Life'
is an exhilarating trip, Guy's unique
voice flirting and soaring over soulful
ballad, funked-up upbeat grooves and a whole
heap of R&B flavoured pop hits, for an
amazing journey from the dance floor to the
bedroom to life's highway and back again.
Guys debut single 'Angels Brought Me
Here' became the highest selling
Australian single of all time in 2003 and his
debut album 'Just As I Am' has gone on
to sell more than six times Platinum in Oz!!
My name is Antonette, a Guy Sebastian fan
from OZ who, along with some friends, are
working to help Guy conquer North America. We
REALLY need your help, so check out Guy @

Conquers North America is an “announcement
