Born in Detroit, Pat Smillie began honing his vocal style while still in high school. Inspired by the Motor City's unique rock and soul vibration, he started out listening to Ray Charles, Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger, Joe Cocker & The Temptations and spent his teenage years singing in rock & soul cover bands on Detroit's southwest side. He moved to Chicago in 1992, where he has since become a fixture on the Chicago scene.
