“I spent so many years in the music industry feeling lost and full of self doubt. Now, after meeting Patrick, for the first time in my career, I feel like I have a mentor who provides real, practical guidance and who also truly believes in my success. Patrick manages to be both extremely practical and inspirational. Patrick, perhaps even more importantly, has continually helped me to retrain my mindset, so I can keep remembering my purpose and stay confident while on my journey. After every conversation with Patrick, I am reminded of my worth, my aim, and feel a true sense of possibility.” - Anita Aysola (Artist)
“Working with Patrick & The Compass Method over the past 4 years has been a game-changer for my business and also my personal growth. The support that he has given me has been immeasurable—when I was going through extremely rough times he was there for me and helped me to process and work through it. I highly recommend working with Patrick if you want to elevate your business and/or your artistry to the next level.” — Laura Escudé (CEO, Live Show Designer, Entrepreneur)
“I’ve worked with Patrick in a number of capacities over the last decade or so, and it’s a relationship I keep coming back to over and over. He has the ability to cut through the noise and get straight to the heart of the matter while making really complex and looming obstacles seem actionable. He has helped me navigate a painful but necessary transition, as a colleague he’s taken care of so many of my students and clients, and as a collaborator, he’s amplified what it is I’m capable of.” — Erin Barra (Director of Popular Music at Arizona State University, Executive Director of We Make Noise)
“Patrick has so much wisdom. His viewpoints are refreshing and always empowering to the artist. Patrick reminds me to focus on the truth of who I am, and be brave enough to make my decisions from that truth. He isn’t afraid of thinking outside the box. And it’s not just words with him. We always find actions I can take after every session that move me forward in tangible ways. I can’t recommend him highly enough as a mentor and a friend”— EMM (Artist/Producer)
“Patrick has provided me with creative guidance throughout much of my career. He’s helped me to elevate my artistry and escape the confinement of my own limited viewpoint. Patrick has an uncanny ability to clear away distractions and quiet the “noise” that pervades the music industry.” -I AM SNOW ANGEL (Producer, Artist, Composer)
“Patrick came into my life as if through providence at a time when I’d really been struggling, and his guidance, support & mentorship started to change things for me right away. One of the things that struck me as unique and special about working with him right away was that he was most interested in understanding who I am, my voice, and my perspective. From that place of authenticity bloomed a whole new outlook and approach for me. In an industry that so often gets swept up in numbers, successes & sure things, we as artists can end up contorting ourselves & desperately trying to be understood and supported.” —Cati Landry (Artist)
“Having Patrick in my corner and on my team has given me the support and sense of stability that I needed, but couldn’t find easily. He quickly became one of the few people’s advice and opinions that actually carried weight I trust his input when it comes to some of the most crucial decisions I’ve had to make. - BYLAND (Artist)
“Working with Patrick was one of the most important things I have done in the trajectory of my career in the performing arts. He is the safe space that every artist needs to fully understand who they are and what they care about, My professional career as a classical singer actually blossomed the more that I expressed myself in other genres and disciplines, which was opposite of what others in the industry were saying to me at the time. He is a genuine and deeply creative coach, and I have felt his sincere desire for me to succeed for years.” —Amy Owens (Artist / Opera Soprano)
“Patrick is the real deal. He has been the single greatest catalyst for change in my life in the past twenty years. “Do something unreasonable today” has been my mantra. His words gave me the courage to leave my “safe” teaching job and take charge of my life, define myself as an artist, and refine my message. In the past week, I’ve earned more than I did in six months of public school teaching. My life is truly my own, and I owe that in large part to Patrick and his coaching. If you have the opportunity to work with Patrick, you must seize it.” —Brett Boles (Composer, Entreprenuer)
“It can be hard to find good people in the music industry, and I am really thankful I was referred to Patrick. Patrick offers comprehensive business and artistic guidance has helped me grow significantly in my business acumen. He is a big help in correspondence with record labels, creating solo artist campaigns, setting career timelines with me, and on a personal level, he has helped me uplevel my communication style and belief in myself. I look forward to continuing to work with Patrick throughout my career.” Ginny Luke (Artist, Composer)
