From a young age, Lemuel was always attracted to music and as he grew, his passion did also. From sitting in a stroller, watching gospel artiste such as Alvin Slaughter and Ron Kenoly, to being the competent musician he is today, it is evident that Lemuel is deeply submerged into the Art they call Music.
In his lifetime, Lemuel has been teaching for over 7 years and has had the pleasure to play alongside some of the greatest musicians in Trinidad and Tobago. Names such as Tony Paul, Jason Bishop, Rodney Alexander, just to name a few. In addition, he had the privilege of playing with the All Star Cast at Jazz on the Greens(2018) and accompanied Quinton Neckles at Shangri-La in Tobago (2019). The highlight of his Musical Career was playing bass guitar for Cuban Jazz Pianist, Janysett McPherson at Kaiso Blues, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (2018). He calls it an unforgettable experience; one that will be forever etched in his memory. Presently he is employed with the Ministry of Education as a Music Instructor in Primary Schools.
Lemuel is also a proud member of the Marabella Pentecostal Community Empowerment Center, where he focuses in his giftings of preaching and playing music for the honor and glory of God. Under the leadership of Reverend Dr. Lurtan Patterson, he serves as the Music Director, head of the Worship Department and a Board member. At his core, worship is not just singing and playing notes, but about giving all you got as a sacrifice to the Lord. So much so that when your worship is thrown into the fire and tested, your worship must come out as pure gold.
Lemuel Patterson loves the idea of inspiring people through his music. His theory is this, “You must never leave a music concert the same way you came; something in the music must change you.” This concept never left his thoughts. Whether teaching, composing, arranging, performing or music directing, the goal for him will always be “To inspire.” At present, Lemuel is currently the owner of ‘LmnoP Music Company' where the motto is "INSPIRING YOU TO INSPIRE OTHERS.” He is also a music instructor with the Primary Schools Music Programme Unit. All of this, is a result of his passion for music, helping upcoming musicians acquire the skills needed to inspire others.
