A bona fide musician since the age of six, Kyle Patrick spent the majority of his childhood and early adolescence mastering every instrument he could get his hands on: acoustic and electric guitar, piano, drums, percussion… you name it, he played it. But the one instrument that stood out from all the rest was his voice.
Acceptance to Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music led to Kyle’s first big break, which came when the undergrad was scouted by Atlantic Records to front certified platinum pop group The Click Five for their 2007 sophomore release, Modern Minds and Pastimes. With Kyle at the helm, the band has sold over two million records to date and had number-one singles in no less than eight countries. Cheryl Leong of MTV described Kyle’s voice as “Deep, Powerful, Steady, and Strong.” 2008 saw The Click Five headline sold-out arenas on three continents as well as perform with heavyweights like The Black Eyed Peas, One Republic, Gym Class Heroes, Panic! at the Disco and The Script. The year culminated in a sea of wins for the band, including the Knockout Award from MTV Asia, Band of the Year from Singapore’s 987FM, Most Outstanding Pop Act and a Male Vocalist of the Year nomination for Kyle at the Boston Music Awards. The band’s much anticipated third album, TCV was released in 2011 with number-one singles in multiple countries.
Kyle’s solo material truly reveals the heart of this talented multi-instrumentalist. His debut solo album is set for a Summer 2012 release with upbeat, dance-worthy tracks and a worldly feel fit for the pop radio waves. Kyle wrote the leadoff single, “Go For Gold!” while training for the New York City marathon. An uplifting and inspiring anthem, the song’s release will coincide with the 2012 London Olympics. The entire project was funded by working with his fans in partnership with PledgeMusic. You can pre-order the album here.
In addition to Kyle’s passion for music, he is committed to giving back to others. As a Celebrity Ambassador with MTV EXIT, Kyle has performed stadium-size concerts in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam as well as visited shelters where he heard stories of trafficking directly from the survivors. Kyle is also involved with the Human Trafficking Awareness Council and performed at the 2011 Freedom Walk and rally against human trafficking in New York City.
Kyle ran the New York City Marathon for the past two years to raise funds for charity. In 2010 he ran for Team for Kids, a volunteer organization that supports health and fitness programs for underprivileged children across the United States and South Africa. Last year he raised funds for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to help find a cure for spinal cord injury.
