#63 Patrick Cornell
Singer Songwriter Patrick Cornell is featured on this podcast through a link up on Instagram but so glad we were able to connect because we got to talk about his musical life, influences and how he got to where he is today. During this Covid Pandemic that we are all experiences Patrick talks about music being the healing thing that will get us all through everything we are facing.
\nWith 15 years of classical and jazz training and inspiration from rock n' roll greats, the Dayton, OH native left the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music as a jazz/studio music major and moved to Los Angeles, California to start his professional music career as a studio/touring bass guitarist for hire. He performed various gigs on bass guitar with such notable artists as Dave Navarro (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Matt Sorum (Guns N\u2019 Roses) and Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray). Cornell eventually migrated to Nashville and has gone through a transformation from a session bass player into a full-time songwriter, producer and solo artist. Taking direction from the Nashville\u2019s songwriting community and culture, Cornell\u2019s lyrics focus on telling a complete story. He writes from a reflective perspective with the intention of his story relating to a broad audience.
\nIf you ask him why and how he\u2019s accomplished all he has, his response is simple: \u201cIt\u2019s God-given.\u201d He argues that none of what he\u2019s accomplished has happened because of anything that he\u2019s done on his own. Still, he\u2019s done a lot. So what is he most proud of so far? \u201cMy hair,\u201d he jokes.
\nAs Patrick focuses on the future, his goals are simple: release music and play shows. Join his email list and follow him on social media to stay updated on upcoming projects and shows.
