Bio

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 for products as disparate as Coca-Cola, Disney, Heineken, GM, Canon, and Playboy. Her easy, wondrous singing imitation of Celine Dion’s unforgettable theme from Titanic with its hilarious re-written lyrics is nothing short of ….inspired.

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 and she was a student at 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 astonish 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 Ghosts Never Sleep starring Faye Dunaway, Tony Goldwyn, and Sean Young. This world class songwriter is currently on the threshold of placing a major cut which, when contracted, will surely be just the beginning of her successful songwriting chapter.

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 on the NBC series Rhythm and Blues as well as Unsolved Mysteries and What Should You Do with Leeza Gibbons, this pint sized pussycat beat out hundreds of great singers to be that lead vocalist famously heard on Showtime’s theme for its hit series Sleeper Cell.

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.
