Rahsaan Patterson Website

LISTEN

Rahsaan Patterson's career is proof that an artist can be progressive while firmly based in gospel and R&B traditions. After a 13-year period entailing a co-starring role on Kids Incorporated, songwriting triumphs with Brandy's "Baby" and Tevin Campbell's "Back to the World," and other activity behind the scenes, Patterson finally made his solo major-label debut with a self-titled album (1997) that started an unbroken streak of moderately successful, stylistically adventurous studio recordings. He has flashed his dynamic and soul-piercing tenor voice, as well as his production and arrangement skills, across a consistently high-quality discography highlighted by independent albums such as After Hours (2004), Wines & Spirits (2007), and Bleuphoria (2011). While his LPs have been separated by two to eight years, Patterson has been sought regularly as a collaborator and remains an active performer. His 35th year in the entertainment industry coincided with the release of his sixth proper studio album, Heroes & Gods (2019).

Originally from New York, Rahsaan Patterson began singing in church during early childhood. He entered the entertainment industry and moved to Los Angeles once he was cast as "the Kid" in Kids Incorporated, a music-oriented children's television program in which the main cast performed contemporary hits. Patterson co-starred in the first four seasons, from 1984 through 1987, and recorded albums with the group. The show's first breakout artist was Martika, whose self-titled 1988 debut -- including the number one pop single "Toy Soldiers" -- featured Patterson among other Kids Incorporated cast members as backing vocalists.

Early the next decade, Patterson fronted Stanley Clarke and George Duke's "No Place to Hide" and could be heard in the background of Martika's Prince-assisted second album, Martika's Kitchen. Patterson then appeared on the first album by Les Pierce's Colour Club and took part in writing sessions for the first album by Brandy. Along with Keith Crouch and Tease's Kipper Jones, he co-wrote "Baby," which in 1995 topped the Billboard R&B/hip-hop chart and went number four pop. Additional songwriting credits followed with material for Christopher Williams and Tevin Campbell. Beside Jamey Jaz and Mikelyn Roderick, Patterson co-wrote "Back to the World," a number 16 R&B/hip-hop hit for Campbell in 1996.

Patterson ended an extended break between solo albums with Heroes & Gods. Released on Shanachie in 2019, Patterson's 35th year in show business, it mixed traditional and modern R&B, mature pop, and house music with extensive help from Jaz and additional input from Hathaway and Broussard, as well as Rachelle Ferrell, and Joi Gilliam. Although it was his first album in nearly a decade, Patterson was active all the while with touring.
