Patricia Adams was born on June 28th in Westchester, New York. She earned a Bachelor of Science and a Masters in Business Administration degrees in the 1960’s. She studied music theory, harmony, and improvisation at the New England Conservatory in Boston and at the Performing Arts School of Worcester in the Nineties. Her continued studies have led her to Semenya McCord, Dominique Eade, Frank Wilkins, Jim Carson, Jeannie Lovetri, Sheila Jordan and Kirk Nurock.

Stepping onto a nightclub stage for the first time in 1992 at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, many open mics and pro bono gigs later, she traded her thirty-five year career in human resources management for life as a full time artist. Her venues now attract those who enjoy the jazz and blues standards of the 1930’s and ’40’s. She plays with some of the world’s renowned jazz artists, including Ray Santisi, Marshall Wood, Bob Moses, Joe Hunt, Bill Wurtzel, John Repucci, Frank Wilkins, Fred Hunter, Ross Schneider, Joe Lovano, Stanley C. Swann, III and the late Jimmy Hill, so far.

As an educator she is at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts  with her leadership skills workshop for the entrepreneurial musician. Vocalist and bandleader Patricia Adams, who is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, also served on the board of the New England Conservatory, continues to perform.
