22 year old Patrick Phillips describes himself as 'a songwriter, frat guy, ex-college basketbal player, model, and starving artist.' I was first introduced to Patrick as a model, on the Red Models Blog. I am sure Patrick is sick of being describes as 'not your typical model' but I can assure you it is a compliment. Patrick stands out and his images are both fascinating and beautiful. Clients seem to agree as Patrick has been getting some high profile campaigns. In researching Patrick he is more than just your typical male model. Modeling for Patrick seems a step on the way to his ultimate dream of singer/songwriter. What really interested me about Patrick was his writing. Although he has not updated his blog in awhile, I encourage you to give it a look. Patrick writes openly about many things, including his music and a take on life as a model you do not often hear about. You can check out his blog, 'I Am Dramz' HERE: Also check out more of Patrick at Red Model Management HERE:

The following comes from Patrick's music page on Pure Volume. I encourage you to take a look and a listen! My favorite track is 'Warm End to a Cold Summer'.
Patrick Phillips is a 22 year old songwriter originally from the midwest college town Columbia, Mo. During high school, Phillips gained local success with his pop-rock trio March to Glory. During his senior year, March to Glory recorded a full length album entitled "Accept the Risk of Failure." The album was well received by local radio stations and the Columbia music scene. A year stint at Westminster College followed, a small private school in a farming community. During this year Phillips dedicated himself to his songwriting. Written exclusively in his dorm room was the "Warm End to a Cold Summer" EP which was played over 30,000 times on PureVolume and considered for the soundtrack of a major motion picture. The confines of a sleepy midwestern town proved to be too much and Phillips made his next move, accepting a basketball scholarship to Hunter College in New York City. Phillips has called New York home for two years, paying his rent by modeling for companies such as Barney's and H&M and working on his English degree. He is currently in the process of recording his next album entitled "The Empty Train." "The Empty Train" is being recorded in Chicago with the same producer of his previous EP Tyson Moore. The songs being recorded deal with the uncertainty and compromises we must make in our early 20's.
