PATRIQUE FORTSON

Age: 38

Hometown: Terre Haute, Indiana

Resident: Atlanta, Georgia

Patrique grew up in the music industry... quite literally. By the time he was six years old, Patrique had signed to a record label and became the youngest gospel recording artist ever. He spent two years touring the United States until the label suddenly went bankrupt. Patrique put music on a long pause as he pursued a career in the insurance industry. The discovery of R&B beyond his gospel roots reignited Patrique's passion for music. He is now ready to fully pursue his dream of being a singer.
