Partial discography

Controversy

In 2015 alongside his friend and business partner Adam Bravin, Patterson created the goth oriented club Cloak & Dagger [15] in Los Angeles, California. In June 2020 the club was closed amidst allegations of sexual misconduct, [16] sexual harassment [17] and discriminatory treatment against people of color. Many patrons of the club went to Patterson over the last two years of its existence and his dismissal was “I will discuss this with Adam,” which he never did. Instead went the patrons called them out on a Zoom meeting, Adam had no idea and immediately jumped in to sort everything out, while Patterson made excuses for the famous patrons who were assaulting others. Patterson later went on an instagram live feed and proceeded to lie about what happened and throw his partner under the bus. He is the reason that Cloak and Dagger was not successful. [18]
