In 2004 he discovered and subsequently produced the debut cd “American Baby” for then 16 year old wonderkid Reni Lane.

In late 2006 he traveled out to San Fancisco to write and record the young electropop turks Lavendi. They are the favorites of myspace global trendsetters and metrosexuals, and the numbers are growing daily…. Recently they were voted the #1 most requested band on SF’s big rock station LIVE 105! He also has written and produced tracks for the Guadeloupean beauty Cilla working with Junius Bervine of Jill Scott, Vivian Green, and Floetry.

With the changing climate of the music business over he last couple of years, Pattillo also acts as a manager to each artist he works with helping them to realize their vision and make their dream a reality. Whether its cutting their next great song, building their website, making contacts, booking advertising go-sees, or playing guitar on tour, Pattillo steps in to make it happen.

As a performer, he has appeared at downtown NYC clubs like Mercury Lounge, The Knitting Factory, and The Living Room, and has also toured in Europe as a solo artist and with his former rock trio Mer. Over the years he has shared bills and conversation with NYC singer songwriters like Jeff Buckley, David Poe, and Chris Whitley.
