“This may sound strange, but I feel like the biggest [influence on my career] was getting a cancer diagnosis. I was always a singer… But I didn’t write my first song until I received an ovarian cancer diagnosis... That was the wake-up call that propelled me to start writing songs. It was something I’d always wanted to do, but... I was scared. I didn’t think I could. I had all these reasons, but it [cancer] was finally what got me to do something that I always wanted to do. That’s why I have a career as a songwriter now.” - Patricia Bahia

“Even though the life of a songwriter and music maker is challenging in so many ways, it’s something I find I simply have to do. I don’t really have a choice. I’ve tried to leave music and “be normal” more than once. It never works. I end up being miserable and getting sick. Luckily, I know the cure. Music is my medicine.” - Patricia Bahia

“Music has the power to open hearts, to soothe, to inspire, to energize, to heal. It’s like a miracle drug. Music has the power to communicate on a soul level and bring people together. Beyond what words alone can do. In the words of the poet Kahlil Gibran, 'Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.'” - Patricia Bahia

“I love helping people connect with the joy of making music and the magic of songwriting and helping them to realize their dreams through the power of song.” - Patricia Bahia
