About Quincy Patrick

Quincy Patrick is an American songwriter, record producer, and composer. He is best known for writing and producing Clive Davis' J Records' first two artists, O-town's Liquid Dreams and Olivia's Bizounce.

He is known for his work in launching the J Records label and for writing and producing for artists including Usher, Alicia Keys, Luther Vandross, and The Temptations.

Patrick contributed to The Temptations' album Ear-Resistible which won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. He later became a bassist and guitarist in his congregation's worship bands, performing on several television shows as a gospel performer, before transitioning into a recording artist. His debut single Stone Love reached number one in Jamaica, and his album Lovin' Touch (1989) peaked at #2 in Australia. He later shifted his focus from performing to production and songwriting. During this transition period, he worked with musicians including Stu Gardner, the musical director for The Cosby Show, and drummer Lenny White. His early songwriting success came through collaborations with R&B stars Maxwell and Howard Hewett. Patrick co-wrote and co-produced Bizounce (2001), the debut single by R&B singer Olivia. The track peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Both songs reached gold status and were #1 on Billboard’s Top 100 Pop and R&B sales charts. Following his success with J Records, Patrick worked with numerous artists across multiple genres. He collaborated with Babyface, who recorded Patrick's composition Reason for Breathing on his album Babyface: A Collection of His Greatest Hits.

In 2001, Patrick contributed to Luther Vandross on his double platinum, American Music Award winning album Luther and The Temptations' Grammy Award-winning album Ear-Resistible (originally titled Irresistible), which won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance.

In 2006, Patrick founded QwiLite Entertainment, an independent record label based in New Jersey. The label's first two promoted artists were Ranjini (Jini June), a Virginia-born R&B singer of Indian ancestry
