About Patty

Located in Salzburg, singer-songwriter Patty Hago uses her craft to blend sadness and strength with pop music.

Having grown up surrounded by Austrian mountains and lakes, Patty was raised on Top 40 hits and 80s rock music. During the illness and then loss of her father, singing and writing songs became her safe haven. “Music has always been a way for me to process things. A coping mechanism, I guess. That started when I was 11 and my dad was gravely ill. Over the years that expanded to love, friendships and my struggles with mental illness.”

Thanks to guitar lessons taken even prior to that, Patty learned how to accompany herself and turn sung lyrics into actual songs. Her producing journey didn’t start until the pandemic, though. With lockdown after lockdown, she decided to just start doing it herself.

The inspiration behind that was producer SUGA. He was also the one who inspired her to publishthe music she had written about mental health. BTS, Pink and Halsey have deeply impacted Patty’s music. Patty prides herself in her unique fusion of sad pop ballads and dramatic, orchestral moments.
