II. Basic Info
My full name is Patrick Michael Lew,
Ethnically, my Japanese name based on three Kanji characters is Ryu Kantachi.
- I was born on November 15, 1985 in SF. I claim my hometown as Taipei, Taiwan, despite I never lived overseas.
- I am mostly Taiwanese/Chinese and slightly Japanese. I was mostly raised on the Hong Kong and Taiwanese culture, but only a little bit on the Japanese heritage.
- I live in between San Francisco and Antioch. In Northern California.
- I graduated with a B.A in Philosophy at CSU East Bay.
- I play guitar and compose music in my spare time. But I make money doing other things for a living. Music is my #1 talent.
- I am seriously engaged to a long-time girlfriend named Faith. 6 years and strong! Love her much.
- I have the best people who support me as family and friends.

Life well lived.

III. Music
- I'm a rhythm guitarist, singer/songwriter, and rock music composer.
- I was in loads of short-term garage punk bands. Most didn't last for more than 2 jam sessions at my crib.
- Music and rock and roll is a big part of who I am. But I don't take it as seriously as I did when I was a teenager and when I was in my early 20s. I do it still, but on the freelance hobby with others and alone. I do look for recognition for my merits and music as this crazy Asian rocker guy.
- Check out my music. Be real and open about what I do.
- I play rock and roll. But it's pretty eclectic. I also play some bass guitar here and there, but my main bread and butter is guitar, singing/songwriting, and producing music at home.
- I don't intend to do music for a living, but it would be nice if I can accomplish something with what I'm good at.
