PATJE ALBUM PASAPORTE PATJE
takes his inspiration daily from images in his mind. Influenced by the growth of singer songwriters from all kinds of genre, he builds his own style from soul, funk and Brazilian rhythms. PATjE is the fourth of five children. He was raised between Marseille, Geneva and Barcelona. His very first experience in entertainment was opera and theater thanks to his brother, for which, he grew to become passionate as of age fourteen. After his high school diploma he did his Bachelors in America to improve his language skills. At that time his friends gave him the nickname PATJE (diminutive of Patrice). Returning back to Europe, he worked in advertising and became the editor of a magazine. When he left this multinational firm and moved to Barcelona, Spain, in order to study at university, music and his love for entertainment came back into his life... He decided to pursue this growing passion in Los Angeles. He discovered facets of himself and started growing and gathering popularity in this environment. In 2002 he started playing with his band in many clubs around Los Angeles and released his first single. On stage he started singing in French, English and Spanish. He began a new journey with his friend Ioannis; with him he played between Bora Bora and Paris. It was with Ioannis that he was the opening act for Jeanne Mas. This show took place at the Trianon in Paris. 2008 enabled him to prepare a new project. Today he is launching Pasaporte, his new album.

BETSY BOGART

Betsy Bogart displays a rare combination of talents: in addition to performing all over the world as a professional recording artist and prize-winning songwriter, she is also an educator who has taught French language and culture at Los Angeles area universities.

Betsy sings in English, Spanish, German, and Italian, but given her unique background, it comes as no surprise that she specializes in French and Francophone popular songs. She brings her own artistry and a touch of California style to classics recorded by such artists as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, Gilbert Bécaud, Julien Clerc, and others.

A multi-talented vocalist and musician, Betsy accompanies herself on piano, electric keyboards, or guitar. With a folk rock style often compared to singer/songwriter greats Carly Simon, Carole King, and Stevie Nicks, she is equally at ease singing jazzy standards, the blues, and her own compositions. Her songwriting talents were rewarded with Grand Prizes from both the American and Music City Song Festivals.

Betsy often performs for special events, but also entertains at French restaurants such as Chez Nous in Toluca Lake, Marché Moderne and Pinot Provence in Costa Mesa, Frenchy’s Bistro in Long Beach, l’Hirondelle in San Juan Capistrano, and Brasserie des Artistes in West Hollywood. Some of her favorite venues, however, are school and university auditoriums and classrooms, where her special gifts as a teacher and musician allow her to combine elements of language, music, and history in an entertaining, interactive experience for students of French.

A unique entertainer who projects warmth and intimacy in venues of any size, Betsy’s humor and enthusiasm combine with superb musical and language skills to delight any group or event.

DJ Yuri

DJ Yuri was born in Lyon, France. His passion for music

started at the very early age of 6 when his parents decided to teach him piano.

As he became a teenager, he fell in love with DJing, self-taught while entertaining friends at private parties. During his first nights out in Lyon's nightclubs, he met famous DJ Shawn who had been resident DJ at ‘Ministry of Sound’ in London, ‘Pacha’ in Ibiza, and ‘Cabaret’ in Paris. DJ Shawn taught him the basics of professional DJing, helped him launch his career in clubs, and introduced him to the exclusive world of DJs. Yuri went on making most of DJ Shawn’s warm-ups in Southern France, and finally took residence in famous Lyon nightclub ‘Le Fish’ (now known as "The Q") as well as in ‘Les Caves Mégève’.

On a trip to Philadelphia to complete his studies in Marketing, he discovered Hip-Hop and black ethnic music. Back in France, DJ Yuri spent his weekends spinning in famous Parisian clubs like ‘Bus Palladium’, ‘Le Cabaret’, ‘The Six Seven’, ‘The Pershing Hall’, etc. However his attraction to the US was still strong, so he decided to move back to the West Coast in September 2007. He has been spinning ever since for ‘French Tuesdays’ Los Angeles and San Francisco, but also works for private parties or sets up background music for restaurants like Mr. Marcel at the Farmers Market.

DJ Yuri’s inspiration comes from his countless trips around the globe and from his family roots. He grew up listening to oriental music at home, and fell in love with DJs Martin Solveig and Laurent Wolf’s works who were the first to introduce oriental vibes in house Music.
