= PATRICIA HILL = Patricia Hill (born April 18, 1988) is an Austrian Pop singer, who found her passion for music and singing already in the early age of 4. Then as now, the young singer, who was born in Vienna, wanted to stand in the limelight more than anything else. Besides several singing contests (The Voice 2002) and transverse flute lessons, Patricia Hill started classical singing education at the age of 13, as well as dancing education in ballet and figure skating. Till 2015, she shared the stage with well known artists such as Waterloo & Robinson, Conchita Wurst, Rainhard Fendrich and participated in several Austrian band-projects.

Career
"Patricia Hill" was founded in 2015. During her career she met the Viennese composer and piano player Wolfgang Bayer. He wrote and arranged the five songs of her selftitled debut EP-album together with songwriter Emad Sayyah (Lebanon). Dance songs with soulful and catchy choruses take the listener back to the 90s, whereas emotional ballads provide the romance.

"Music of the kind I remember from discotheques in my own youth many decades ago, and which have stayed in popularity ever since." (Review by Olav Martin Bjørnsen, Frame Music; Norway)

Patricia Hill's band consists of Paul Moder – Drums (AUT), Wolfgang Bayer – Piano (AUT), Tom Niesner – Bass (AUT), Lorenzo Gangi – Percussion (I)  and Lionel Bozek – Guitar (F).
