Patrick Coffey is a songwriter/musician in the Contemporary Christian genera. He began to learn the piano when he was 6 years old. For a while, he really had a hard time grasping musical concepts and note reading, so as a side hobby he began to learn songs by ear. He found that it was very easy for him and came very naturally. He found that as he began to play by ear, he was no longer limited to the imagination of the music writer and he could add in his own emotion and feeling. In his young years, Patrick didn’t really think much of his musical abilities and never even considered being able to mold it into anything useful. It never occurred to him that the musical ear God had given him could be useful for anything but playing around and learning fun songs until he wrote his first song at the age of 9. Patrick says, “It was kind of like a spark that ignited. I didn’t know what I was doing, and I still don’t really, but God kept giving me songs to write so I kept on writing them. I’ve always had a bit of a hard time in school; I’m one of those B students except in Literature. I seem to be a lot better at literature and poetry study than at any other subject, so naturally, since my strengths were in writing and music I combined the two. I was pretty excited about playing around with this stuff, and began to exercise my skills by listening to other artists and copying them to the ‘T’ on the piano. As I was in this process, I began to create my own style.”

Patrick explored many aspects of music. He also tried writing books, but it didn’t click, even though he enjoyed it.
