Patoranking : His Rise From Grass To Grace

Being Patoranking is not just the flashy lifestyle that’s attractive and the High quality video he shoots in United kingdom to name a few. This man known as Nnameka by his parents. He has proved his relevancy since he rose to stardom overnight in the scene, (Why did you think he was the most featured dude on the scene in 2014),

He has the most record yet with other artiste even than himself but thanks to his non-stop chart topping songs from the then Alubarika to our now “My woman my everything” what more can we ask from this young man that has blessed the Nigerian Music Industry With Good Songs. When Nnaemeka Okorie also known as Patoranking arrived on the music scene, nobody gave him a chance. Today the ‘Girlie O’ crooner is fast climbing the ladder to becoming an A-list artiste. In a recent interview the dancehall artiste shared his grass to gracestory.

“I had to move from Cape Coast to Accra. I was sleeping on the streets of Osu just to make it. The only option I had at that point was making it in life because I just had to change the course of my family, the face of my family and being the first child put the entire load on me. I just say ‘thank you’ Lord and to everybody that never doubted me. I pray for them still and we’re still together”

He narrated. From the street corners of Accra to the world to beg for a session so he can at least pour out his heart some music producers turned him down some helped people who helped him share his heart musically can reap benefits off him because I’m sure they are proud of him now.

when he moved back to Nigeria in early 2012 he met timaya a.k.a egberi papa 1 of bayelsa from then on his life changed forever timaya signed him willingly helped him breakthrough independently without a deal with a major distribution company from Alubarika To girlie o. Then the whole magic-dramaticalised switch he made from timayas label to foston music when the foston crest logo was in the “girlie o” video,

thats all story as another record label came into the picture, not just a record label but a top label that has all the best reggae-dancehall acts from around the world “VP RECORDS” they made his dream realized a normal jamaican can sing to Mr patrick nnemeka okorie a.k.a patoranking’s hits, he’s one of Africa’s most popular, he’s probably travelled virtually to the most spherical part of the earth,as he has worked from k-solo to the wizzy pro slick mo to name a few producers he’s worked with …

Shine on brother as the world won’t stop supporting your brand till you win a Grammy because your fans, friends, family, foes, frenemies all love you pato ……Shine o shine bro.
