Patton is currently signed with Atlanta Global Music. Under the tutelage of Don Perry, OOMP CAMP and
Tricky Stewart, he has recorded more than 150 songs during the shelter in place. In April, Patton partnered with actor/singer Algee Smith to release the single "Pilot," which has quickly garnered buzz on SoundCloud.
Patton first rose to prominence with a viral video freestyling at a California comedy club in front of his University of Georgia football teammates prior to playing in the Rose Bowl. After shooting the "100 Miles" music video in Los Angeles while playing tight end for the Bulldogs, UGA, compliance and the NCAA told Patton that he had to make a decision: music or football.
A music career was a boyhood dream of his, which initially took a backseat to sports. When Patton was cut from his eighth and ninth-grade football team, he spent his time playing basketball and recording music. After growing to 6 feet 5 inches and gaining nearly 70 pounds, he played on his high school football team and earned an opportunity to play at UGA. Then, destiny intervened, and music took the forefront. Patton draws inspiration from musical influences such as Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park,
Young Thug and
Coldplay to develop his own style for songwriting and performing. For more information about Wix Patton, please visit www.wixpatton.com, follow @Wixpatton on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, as well as to check out his music on all major streaming platforms.
