Patrick Droney

From the moment Patrick Droney picked up his father’s guitar, he set his sights on New York City. The New Jersey-raised newcomer began gigging in Manhattan clubs and eventually attended the Clive Davis Institute at NYU. Shortly after, he inked a publishing deal and relocated to Nashville in 2018 to record a self-titled EP.

Droney’s fan base grew rapidly, prompting Warner Records to sign him a year later. For his full-length debut, the breakout star drew inspiration from life experiences. These stories manifested into 20 new songs that reflect passion and musical prowess through the lens of a young man with an old soul. The end result is a finely crafted, powerful album called STATE OF THE HEART that weaves pop, classic rock, and R&B into something all his own.
