Patty Mattson’s revered spoken voice and sensational singing voice are each success stories on several dazzling fronts. When her three octave range is stunningly aligned to commercials, say, for Showtime, the Discovery Channel, a National Geographic Special or satirical sound-alikes for the Clear Channel-Premiere Radio Network, (including the late Howard Stern Show), her voice is the magnificent essential which makes each famous performance fly.

Mattson is the dynamic vocalist on records such as American Idol Showstoppers 5 and on commercials as disparate as Playmates Toys, IDog, Disney, Heineken, Downy, GM, Canon, and Playboy. This crafty chameleon has a Voice Over resume that shows incredible range, and her wondrous imitation of Celine Dion’s theme from Titanic with its hilarious re-written lyrics is nothing short of inspiring!

Mattson, once a child prodigy, (who has been funny her whole life), craftily imitated Lily Tomlin’s Ernestine and Edith Ann at 6, and would start singing at 8. To be sure, after auditioning with hundreds of other talented children, she was tapped by the Twin Cities’ highly respected Children’s Theatre Company to attend their theatre school program through Jr. High. She would continue her music and theatre studies at MacPhail Center for the Arts at the University Of Minnesota as well as the world renowned Guthrie Theatre. Subsequently, the singing great was signed by Dez Dickerson of Prince and the Revolution to her first production deal.

In 1990, the beautiful, 5’5 blonde moved to Los Angeles and was enlisted, in short order, to sing on the debut CD for The Boys Club spawned by MCA records. Whilst recording her own project, the famous show business publication The Los Angeles Music Connection, wrote, “This girl has a god given talent that can’t be taught or learned”. Atlantic City and Las Vegas saw Patty Mattson entertain audiences as part of legendary choreographer Anita Mann’s lavish dancing extravaganzas Let’s Dance and Swing, Swing, Swing.

No stranger to record production, Mattson, a prolific pop music songwriter, has had her songs included on the soundtracks of several motion pictures including Friends and Lovers starring Robert Downy Jr. and Claudia Schiffer, as well as Ghosts Never Sleep starring Faye Dunaway, Tony Goldwyn, and Sean Young. Her wondrous original song Going Home, which can be heard at www.myspace.com/pattymattson, is truly moving!

Indeed, Mattson continues to add to her Voice Over, Jingle, Recording and Songwriting successes with her flourishing company Madison Music & VO. Armed with an impressive performer’s resume, which includes featured roles in Into Temptation with Jeremy Sisto and Kristin Chenowith, NBC's Rhythm and Blues, Unsolved Mysteries and What Should You Do with Leeza Gibbons, this pint sized pussycat continues to beat out hundreds of great voices on works ranging from the voice of Cat Woman on the video game Dark Kahn, or the animated pup B-Dawg on the trailer for the DVD release of Disney's Air Buddies, to the theme for Showtime’s hit series Sleeper Cell. The list just grows.

Patty Mattson, this curvaceous, show business quadruple threat for songwriting, acting, mellifluous and character-driven voice overs, and unforgettable vocal stylings is pure magic.

Watch, listen, and know.
