Patrice Pike (born August 4, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician.
Pike grew up in Dallas, Texas, playing the ukulele and violin. When she was 15, she began attending the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Former attendees of the school include Edie Brickell, Norah Jones, and Zac Baird; among Pike's classmates was Roy Hargrove.
After graduating from Booker T. Washington, Pike attended the University of North Texas, where she founded the band Little Sister in 1991 with Wayne Sutton. [1]
In 1991, Patrice Pike and Wayne Sutton co-founded the band Little Sister, later renamed Sister 7. [1] During their early years, they often performed as an opening act for Soul Hat at the Black Cat in addition to headlining their own shows. The band's first major label record, "Free Love And Nickel Beer," was recorded with EMI/SBK Records.
The band completed the recording of their debut album and were then invited to join the H.O.R.D.E. tour which included notable bands such as the Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews Band, and Allman Brothers Band.
Due to naming conflicts, the band "Little Sister", which was in the process of being signed by Arista Records, changed their name to "Sister 7". Co-founded by Patrice Pike, the band became a significant presence in the Austin jam scene. [2]
The band's first release under a major label was a live album. Pike was the writer and vocalist for Sister 7's Billboard hit, "Know What You Mean." She also received the Grand Prize in the USA Songwriting Competition for the song "My Three Wishes," which was co-written with her Sister 7 bandmates, and the top prize in the Pop category for "Nobody Knows," a song she co-wrote with songwriter and producer John Shanks.
Following the production of their album 'Wrestling Over Tiny Matters,' a restructuring at Arista Records resulted in the dismissal of music industry veteran Clive Davis. Sister 7, like several other bands, lost their affiliation with the label during this change. Following their departure from Arista, they recorded "Sister 7 Live" and released a DVD, "Three Times Live," which featured performances from three venues: Antones, Steamboat, and La Zona Rosa.
From 2000 to the present, Patrice Pike independently released several studio records, including the "Flat 13" EP, "Fencing Under Fire," and "Unraveling." She has also released two live records, "Live at the Brushwood Lounge Volume 1" with Wayne Sutton and "Live and Then Some! Brushwood Volume 2." Pike has toured both domestically and internationally as a solo artist since Sister 7 ceased touring. She has co-created numerous records and musical groups, such as her band, The Black Box Rebellion, and has toured extensively throughout the United States and Western Europe.
Recently, Pike was inducted into the Austin/Texas Music Hall of Fame, an honor that coincided with her winning Musician of the Year, Best Female Vocalist, and Song of the Year in Austin for "Beautiful Thing." This song premiered on the CBS primetime television series Rock Star . Pike has performed at various tours and festivals, including the Lilith Fair, H.O.R.D.E. tour, Austin City Limits, High Sierra, Strawberry, and Kerrville festivals. In 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013, she made guest artist appearances with the Grammy Award-nominated choral group Conspirare.
Her most recent album, "The Calling," was released in June 2013. [3] In 2017, Pike and her music partner Wayne Sutton co-founded a new project, Pike and Sutton. They co-wrote a new record, "Heart Is A Compass," which contains 11 songs. The record was mastered in 2019 and was scheduled for release in January 2020. This marks the first music co-written and produced by Pike and Sutton since the last Arista release, "Wrestling Over Tiny Matters."
