As an avid lover of music across all genres, Patrick Windsor records, writes, produces, and performs music in Los Angeles.

Starting by learning the best of Seattle Grunge licks, Patrick went on to study Jazz, Rock, Metal, Bossa Nova, and jumped into the realm of Electronic music as well. He studied Jazz Guitar Performance at Northern Illinois University, but ultimately obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Music and New Media Technology. After graduating magna cum laude, he continued to perform and produce music centralized in the Chicago area. He also taught private guitar, bass, piano, ukulele, and saxophone lessons.

While in Chicago, Patrick played with several bands, including rock bands 48sin and Egostatic, performing at Chicago staples like The Metro and live on Chicago’s alternative radio station, Q101. He also created and performed in the metal band Internal Empires sharing the stage with bands like Every Time I Die, Norma Jean, The Bled, and more. 

Patrick also played guitar for the experimental rock band, Tub Ring. He recorded guitar on their final album for The End Records, Secret Handshakes, and toured in support of this album. The band has since recorded two self-released LP’s, A Choice of Catastrophes (2017) and Fist and Last Men (2024), with Patrick contributing guitar, piano, and song-writing credits.

After moving to Los Angeles, Patrick began writing and recording with a range of artists. He co-wrote the song “Play to Win” on Mindi Abair and the Boneshakers’ album, “Eastwest Sessions,” earning a placement on Billboard’s Blues charts. He’s also produced and co-written tracks with indie pop artist, Madeline Rosene, rock band Evol Walks, and others. He’s worked on music featured on Showtime, Starz, Shudder, and performed on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show with The Boulet Brothers.

As a session player, Patrick has played and recorded guitar for multiple plugins from software company, Impact Soundworks. He played and recorded all the acoustic guitar for the plugin, Acoustic Revolutions: Strum Designer. Also, he wrote, played, and recorded hundreds of guitar riffs for two electric guitar plugins in their Riffage series, Riffage: Metal and Riffage: Hard Rock. Additional promotional work includes writing, playing, and recording guitar demos for both Cordoba Guitars and Guild Guitars. 

Patrick’s current project, Black Mail House, is a power-pop band heavily influenced by pop/rock music of the 1960s and 1970s. He is the principle song-writer, while also arranging all horn and orchestral parts. The band’s song, “Don’t Leave Just to Have More Songs That Say I Love You,” was used in the Shudder exclusive film, Lucky (2021).

Patrick is well-versed in all styles of guitar playing, as well as music production and recording. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
