About Me


When not hard at work with the crew of HD Ready, producing WTTW's Soundstage TV series, Patrick DeWitte is helping indpendent musicians in the Chicagoland area record their music.
Being a trained musician since the age of 8, Patrick's musical knowledge spans the theoretical, technical, educational, and most importantly, emotional levels of the songwriting/production process.
Know This:
Loving every part of the production process, seeing an album/EP/song (whatever it is you're working on) bloom from an idea into fruition is something Patrick takes great pride in. Before anything else, he is a music FAN. Being a producer allows him to continue to be a creative musical force, while being able to enjoy the music from a listener standpoint. He's the "5th Beatle" in your musical project.

Check out Sharon, Jana, and Lori, singers in Stevie Nicks' band, singing my theme song. They recorded it while I was out of the room. What a great surprise! To get the joke, I should tell you that my nickname at my studio is "P-Rock". It should make sense now. Enjoy!
