Before she could even bemoan her retrenchment, she received some good news: She was chosen as one of the 10 winners of the Viva Musika songwriting contest.
“Viva Records offered me a recording contract, to sing and record the songs I submitted. I grabbed the opportunity, because it’s a childhood dream to become a singer. I just had to set that aside because I became a nutritionist and a flight attendant,” related Pat whose winning songs include, “Mahal,” “Back to You,” and “Kailan Ka Babalik,” which officially became her first single.
While she was partial to writing songs about heartbreak at some point, Pat said her goal now is to be known as a singer-songwriter whose work uplifts people. “Lately, I realized that it can also be tiring listening to songs about hurt. So I want to show that there’s a side to love that’s beautiful and makes you happy,” she said. “I want to change the vibe from sawi to happy.”
“I also love journaling, so I tried writing songs. And then I realized that it’s something I can do… That’s how it started,” Pat added. “I always feel the need to write something down when I have feelings I can’t let go; I use it as an emotional outlet.”
