Today, we’d like to introduce you to Lamont Patterson. Lamont was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Rebecca Mahan.
Hi Lamont, we’re so thrilled to have you sharing your story with us today. Maybe we can kick things off by having you introduce yourself to our readers? We’d love to have you go into your story and how you got to where you are today.
Lamont started singing in the church choir at age five and moved on to tenor saxophone as his instrument of choice. With role models such as jazz greats John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Roland Kirk, Lamont excelled as a musician. After high school, Lamont’s cousin, Bobby Sanders, manager of Little Anthony and The Imperials and The Young Hearts, included him in their rehearsals, giving him the unique opportunity to sing, dance, and practice choreography, inspiring him onward in music. Lamont sang the second tenor in college and wrote lyrics for New Birth, an R&B group. The group toured with notables such as the O’Jays, Blue Magic, The Four Tops, and other great sounds from the Motown era.
As his talents increased, Lamont became increasingly intrigued with the desire to play a more significant role in the music industry. His first group was The Elements of Peace, an R&B group produced by Aaron Neville, in which he sang lead and played tenor saxophone. Doors opened for him to work with the likes of Grammy winners Aaron Neville, Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye, Ike Turner and Tina Turner, Bill Summers, Big Boy, and Side Effect in collaborative projects. In these collaborations, Lamont got his first taste of the production side of the business.
