Biography

Family history

Patrick Larsson was born in Malmö in the south of Sweden to Ulla Larsson and Torbjörn Nilsson.

Patrick was raised in the Mormon faith which has had a huge effect on his life. Teaching him obedience and discipline, he learned at a young age to be honest and to respect and accept other people. Later on in his life he left the Mormon church which his father had done many years before him. He spend most of his childhood in the south of Sweden. When he was 20 years old he moved abroad for the first time, to London. In the next few years he earned a degree in business and economics.
When he was 23 he started his first company with his best friend, Carl-Fredrik Fondell. They named it "Pice Planer" and that was the beginning of his passion for business.

Early musical career

Patrick was already writing music at a very young age. He performed in his first music competition together with his sister, Carina Larsson, when he was only 15 years old. He performed many times at weddings, parties and other big events, solo or in a group. In 2003 he met with some music producers in Paris and realised that maybe he should pursue a professional music career.
In 2004 he met with an Italian production team, CX Music and signed a contract with EMI Music Italy. He released his first single "Nothing I Won't Do". His second single was "Pia Pia". Some of his inspiration comes from when his mother, Ulla Larsson, died on June 2, 2003.
