‘INSPIRING YOU TO INSPIRE OTHERS’ TEL: +1(868)277-4874/ +1(868)335-5578 EMAIL: lmnopmusiccompany@gmail.com BIOGRAPHY: 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 Music for over 10 years. Currently he works as a Music Instructor with the Primary School Music Programme Unit. He is currently the holder of two Bachelor Degrees, one in Management Studies and the other in Performing Arts with Specialization in Music. Lemuel also holds certificates up to grade 6 Practical and up to grade 7 theory from Trinity Guildhall in London. Not only does he have the papers to prove it, but had the pleasure to play alongside some of the greatest musicians in Trinidad and Tobago. Names such as Tony Paul, Jason Bishop, Rodney Alexander, Jill Ann Walters-Morris, 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 music career was playing bass guitar for Cuban Jazz Pianist, Janysett McPherson at Kaiso Blues, Port of Spain (2018). He calls it an unforgettable experience; one that will be forever etched in his memory. 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.” All of this, is a result of his passion for music, helping upcoming musicians acquire the skills needed to inspire others.
