Dr. Pat To Take Over With New Single, ‘In The Club’ | @DrPat_1

Dr. Pat is not a new name in the industry, he is popularly called the Kondo master as a result of his widely accepted hot track, ‘Hotter Than Fire’ which was a master song.

Having left the music scene, he returned with a new single, Anaconda which is presently enjoying air-play and taking over the clubs.

Not relenting, Dr. Pat is set to drop another hit single, In The Club on May 28, 2014. He talks more on how the journey was while he was off the scene, his recent singles and his plans in a recent interview.

Excerpts Below:

BEING OFF THE SCENE
Yes, I’ve been away from the scene for quite sometime because I’ve been in the USA working and doing music because that’s what I love to do. At the same time, being in America is like a cleansing and healing therapy for me.

Basically, my being in the states is just to get my mind back to where its supposed to be so I would be able to refocus and get back on the scene the right way this time around.

ABOUT ANACONDA
Basically, few years back I dropped Hotter Than Fire and there was a phrase which stood out in that song which everybody called Kondo.

And due to the fact that the phrase was so strong at that time, a whole lot of artistes tapped into the phrase; which is good. At the end of the day, people decided to tag me not just Dr Pat anymore, but Dr Pat a.k.a Kondo Master.

Then I decided to come up with something bigger and different in its own way, so I laid back and thought about it and the Anaconda thing came to play. I started writing and putting it together in such a way that it would be a song anyone could listen to, dance to and enjoy. I also had to consider the trend of music in Nigeria now because I’ve not been in the country for quite sometime.

Putting the song together was great because I had Young D around in America to stay with me for sometime. Actually, he came around with his wife to be delivered of their baby boy, so we were together for almost three months. During the time we were together, we came up with great songs and one of them was Anaconda.

“IN THE CLUB”, THE NEW WORK
In The Club is the song we are dropping on May 28, 2014, it is a follow-up to Anaconda.

In The Club is characterised by Afro Hip Hop, vocal harmonies, hand claps, prominent electric guitar riffs, bright synthesizers, a homogeneous sound and message.

The song is Produced by beat technician “Young D” during his three months stay In the U.S.

I won’t talk much on it, but expect the best from In The Club.

PENNING MORE SONGS
Dr. Pat is a brand that a whole lot of fans out there haven’t really realized. People need to know how big a brand Dr Pat is as a person and as an artiste. Also, Dr pat will be coming up with more singles. I’ve been out of the scene and I really need to refresh people’s memory because the last time people heard from me was when I released Hotter Than Fire, so I need to drop more singles for my fans out there.

NO ALBUM YET IN VIEW
Not really, because right now I’m just trying to re-register myself back into the minds of my fans and I need more singles in order to reunite with all my fans.

So right now it’s all about dropping hit singles and then I’ll probably look into dropping an album towards the end of the year or probably the beginning of next year.

GREATEST CHALLENGE
My greatest challenge has been getting back on my feet because we fall once in a lifetime and we work really hard to get back up. Achieving greater heights in life isn’t always very easy, we encounter highs and lows and falling down in the midst of all these brings one back to the bottom of ones career.

But when you put in your best to climb the ladder once again, there’s joy. I’ve been through so much and I’m getting back on my feet.

SELF ASSESSMENT
Basically, I’m so far from being successful but one thing I’d say is that I thank GOD for my life and for where I am right now.
But in my wildest dream, I see myself beyond just being successful. my team and I are working really hard to get there. Right now we are still a little fish in the big ocean trying to become a shark.

AWAY FROM MUSIC
I work like every other person, I work as a fire safety director in America and it’s a 9am – 5pm job, but music is everything to me, it’s my heart, my goal, my passion. I’m sure when next I’m asked these questions I’d have much more answers for you.

HAPPIEST MOMENT
I give glory to God for all he has done in my life because I know there are many people out there who wish to be in my shoes. But my happiest moments are yet to come and I really look forward to it soon.

NIGERIA IS HOME REGARDLESS
Nigeria is my home and I love my country so I would definitely relocate to Nigeria. But America is like my second home and I would always come back for vacation.
