Patoranking: I Think About my Stage Performance Anytime I’m Making Music
Popular singer, Patoranking has explained what he thinks of when making music.
In an interview with Pulse, the reggae dancehall music star, who recently released Three, his third studio album, said his performance is what he thinks about all the time he finds himself in the studio recording songs.
He said, “Whenever I’m making music, I think of its live performance because I’m a music man. For example, we were booked for three cities on Lauryn Hill Tour and it was meant to be just me, my DJ, and my manager. I looked at the venue and was like, ‘Na me go do ‘DJ Track 1’ for here?’ [laughs]. We had to go with a band.
“I was initially booked for three cities – it became eight after our first show. They also moved us from the early performers to right before Lauryn Hill. I want people to jump up and run to see me perform anytime they see my name on a poster.”
During the interview, Patoranking also explained how he has been able to cultivate a good spending culture.
“I’m an independent artist and my money is 100% music money. I just try to put it back into the right things; my music, my people and my family.
“I changed my mentality in the earlier days. I had just become ‘Patoranking’ and I was going to Europe. On the flight, I read this magazine where a billionaire discussed how he invests his money and I made it my principle,” he added.
