“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
“One of the things I try to do as a songwriter and artist is to create songs that help lift people up, combat negativity with hope and optimism, and help us remember that we’re all one family living on one planet.” - Patricia Bahia
“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
