AS I AM

Pop/rock vocalist PATSY BLACKSTONE was fascinated by rhythm and music in general at a very young age. It was most likely Patsy’s mother, singer/conductor, who gave her these talents. At the age of seven Patsy is determined to attend the music academy.

During her studies at college in Leuven-Belgium, she began performing live with her first band Couleur Exquise. Later on she joins the cover band Fake, from then on she performs regularly in Belgium, turning out to be an exciting stage personality.

But Patsy is not content only interpreting the songs of others and she dreams of forming her own band and performing her own songs. During demo sessions with producer Evert Verhees in the summer of 2000 she finds her own musical way of combining rock and pop.

Her debut album ‘As I Am’ was released in April 2002 in Belgium. It reached #22 in the Belgian Ultratop Charts. The four singles taken from the album (‘Read Between The Lines’, ‘Right To Be Wrong’, ‘As I Am’ and ‘The Right Time’) generated a lot of airplay on Belgian radio.

During the summer of 2002, she performs live with her own band at several Belgian festivals (she opens at the famous Markt Rock festival in Leuven on the main stage). She participates in the Golden Stag Festival in Brasov (Romania) and she also sings on one of the tracks of the famous TV-series ‘Flikken’, broadcasted in Belgium and Holland.

Patsy’s single (and videoclip) ‘The Language Of Love’, a duet with Soulsister-lead singer Paul Michiels, was released in November 2002, which she performed live during Paul’s 2003 CC-tour in Belgium. Again, it generated a lot of airplay on Belgian radio.

During the following years to the present, Patsy continued to perform live and still sings with many bands.
