Patti Schmidt

Patti Schmidt

Patti Schmidt (born June 2, 1968) is a Canadian radio personality on CBC Radio. She currently lives in Montreal.

Patti grew up in Ottawa, and attended McGill University as an undergraduate. While at McGill, she became involved with CKUT-FM. In 1991, CBC hired her on a series of temporary contracts with "Brave New Waves", a show of which she was a big fan. She then became the primary host of "Brave New Waves", replacing Brent Bambury, and hosted the program between 1995–2006. She was also the executive producer.

As of September 2006, Patti hosts the weekly CBC Radio One show "Cinq à Six" from Montreal, a program "that explores new directions in culture in Quebec - directions in music, literature, theatre, architecture and design and in the business of art."

On March 19, 2007, Schmidt became weekend host of "Canada Live", a new program on CBC Radio Two devoted to concert performances. She also hosts "Inside the Music", a program which airs documentary reports on Canadian musicians.

In September 2008, Patti will begin a graduate degree in Communications and Art History at McGill University. She will continue at CBC Radio, only, as the host of Inside the Music.

Music career

During the mid-to-late 1990s she was the lead singer and bassist with Pest 5000, a band that also featured "Brave New Waves" producer Geneviève Heistek. She is currently the vocalist and bassist with the band Nanobot Auxiliary Ballet. Alongside Jeff Waye (manager/owner of the North American component of Ninja Tune Records), the pair started the Ta-Da record label, and released a self-titled album.
