Patrick Staniforth is a German singer-songwriter with English roots, known for his heartfelt voice, raw honesty, and songs that capture both fragility and strength.
Raised in the industrial Ruhr area by an English father and a German mother, Patrick grew up surrounded by the sounds of The Clash, The Smiths, and the spirit of British music. He began playing piano at 11, wrote his first song at 14, and eventually found his true expression through the guitar.
His music blends folk, rock, and indie influences, often compared to early Coldplay, U2, and R.E.M., while maintaining a voice and style unmistakably his own. What sets Patrick apart is his ability to channel lived experience into melody: stories of love, loss, resilience, and hope.
His debut EP Pieces Pt. 1, recorded in Berlin, reflects this journey—songs that are not just heard, but felt. The release has already gained notable press attention, with outlets such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Notion, Fame, and Broadway Worldpraising his songs and unique voice He was described as “an artist to watch in the ever-expanding singer-songwriter landscape.”
Whether on stage or in the studio, Patrick’s mission is simple: to create a moment where listeners forget the world outside and connect deeply—with the song, with themselves, and with each other. This is just the beginning of the story, with Pieces Pt. 2 already on the horizon.
