about
Patrina was born in India to Anglo-Indian parents and moved to England when she was just 6 months old. She was brought up in North London and lived there until as a teenager she was spotted by a model agent while working in a restaurant to pay for Art School. Soon she was living in Paris, Milan, Tokyo and New York and making her way in the world of fashion working for some of the most prestigious clients and appearing in Italian and German editions of Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire. Music was always her first love and after a few years she decided to make a change and began working in the music industry as a singer, songwriter and co- writer.

# On Patrina Morris This work offers a rare glimpse into the mind of someone navigating multiple worlds—fashion, music, and cultural displacement.

Having moved between continents from infancy, Morris brings an outsider's clarity to questions of home and self that feel increasingly relevant. The album demonstrates considerable craft in translating these conceptual preoccupations into sound, avoiding easy answers while remaining genuinely curious about its own questions. It's the kind of work that reveals itself gradually, rewarding attentive listening.
