Artist and Blue chip in Kansas City, MO
Born Nick Patterson in the vibrant city of Chicago, Illinois, Anthemous T Rocknrolla's musical odyssey began with the rhythmic footsteps of his older brother, who introduced him to the soulful melodies of R&B classics from the '80s and early '90s during their daily walks to school. This early exposure ignited a spark within him, laying the foundation for a lifelong love affair with music.
Anthemous's talent soon became evident as he took center stage in talent shows during his elementary school years and dazzled audiences with his comedic prowess in high school drama club sketch productions. He possessed a unique gift—the ability to shine brightly whenever called upon to perform.
His first step into the music world was serendipitous, a chance meeting with Mike Vega of M/Werk Ent, a renowned freestyle DJ in Chicago. This encounter marked the inception of Anthemous's remarkable journey through the realms of music. Following a brief tour of duty in the Navy, he set his sights on Kansas, where he enrolled at Emporia State University and began his exploration of a music career.
Kansas proved to be an unconventional but transformative backdrop for Anthemous's artistic evolution. As an outsider, or "transplant," in a time before YouTube made beat sharing (stealing) easy, he couldn't rely on the benevolence of strangers. This challenge led him down a different path, one that would define his identity as a Blue Chip entity and a pioneer of rare musical entities. He fearlessly volunteered to be among the first to navigate uncharted territory, dedicating two decades to becoming a self-sufficient artist.
Throughout his journey, Anthemous remained acutely aware of the ever-evolving landscape of popular culture and music trends. His ability to adapt and innovate allowed him to carve out a unique space for himself in the industry, far removed from the mainstream.
Today, Anthemous T Rocknrolla embarks on a new mission, one whose final destination remains a mystery even to him. What he knows for certain is that the beginning of this journey is fueled by a newfound awareness, a deep understanding of the unique path he's carved for himself, and an unwavering passion for the art of music. Anthemous's story is a testament to the power of resilience, innovation, and a burning love for music that continues to inspire all who cross his path.
