Patricia Bahia
PATRICIA BAHIA (pronounced Bah-HEE-yah) is an American indie pop singer-songwriter and cancer survivor. With a voice as smooth as polished stone that’s been through the rock tumbler of life, and a collection of frank, sparkling indie pop tunes in the vein of Aimee Mann, Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles, she lives her bucket list and inspires others to do the same. A former jazz and gospel singer, Patricia started as a soloist with the acclaimed Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, where she recorded with Linda Ronstadt, performed with Joan Baez and opened for Bonnie Raitt. She discovered a bucket list desire to write songs during successful treatment for ovarian cancer 13 years ago, and was reborn as a singer-songwriter. Now healed, she’s on a mission to spread love, healing, joy and peace through the power of words and music--and to inspire others to follow their dreams. Patricia’s most recent project is 7th & Hope, a collaboration with London-based singer-songwriter Betty Lawrence.
