Patrice Villastrigo is a native of San Antonio, Texas, USA. She inherits her musical ability from her ancestors. Her paternal grandparents were in Vaudeville and Broadway. Her maternal grandfather managed piano stores. Patrice began her musical career with Judy Garland. Since she was eight years old, she sang along with her mother’s Judy Garland albums every day. Once in a while, young Patrice would sneak into a club and sing with her brother, pianist, vocalist and composer, Vance Villastrigo. She had no formal music training. She just keeps on singing because she loves to sing! Patrice once said, “For me, singing is like breathing, I can’t live without it!”
Patrice has performed around the world for the past 30 years, from The White House to Luxembourg and Peru. Allowing other business to come first over the years, Patrice put her recording career on the back burner, happy just to perform. Yes, she never stopped singing or performing! Her drive to sing is so powerful that she performs following each event at her events center, The Jackson Ranch/Center For Healing and The Arts, and invites others to do so as well. Patrice performs with many local bands in San Antonio such as The West Side Horns and Small World. Patrice even sang to her daughter upon her birth, which stopped the young babe from crying!!
A philanthropist, when it comes to music and the arts, Patrice records CDs for bands at her events center. Calling the performances a “Live Recording Session”. She publicizes the events, requesting a donation from the audience, then gives the donation to the musicians. Sound Engineer, Dieter Belletz, then mixes and masters the CD. Finally, Patrice produces copies for the bands to sell. Look for some of them soon here at CD Baby, such as, ‘The West Side Horns: Live at The Jackson Ranch!’

your name popped up on my facebook page. I don't know you or of you even though you sound like a very interesting person, but it was your last name that caught my eye. You see, my dad, who is still living was born in 1926 to Alberto Villastrigo and Rebecca San Miguel. Unfortunately his mother died within two weeks of his birth. I was told that his dad was unable to raise my dad (Albert Flores) or his sister (Altagracia) due to illness, so the kids were separated. My dad was adopted by Jesus and Antonia Garza. They lived on Pecos street near Guadalupe here in San Antonio.
When we moved here to San Antonio in 1968, my mother searched for any of dads relatives. She found his mom's sister; Mary who lived on San Fransico street (I think) or in that area. Aunt Mary has long passed away, but she has a daughter; Josie who would be my dad's cousin. Josie has two sons and also lives here in San Antonio on the Southeast side. Does any of this sound familiar to you? I'm just grasping for anything at this point. I saw your name and thought; "wouldn't that be wonderful if there was a connection?" Perhaps you could mention this to older people in your family if it doesn't sound familiar to you…I'm just trying to find family on my dad's side and perhaps even find his sister. If she's still living she would be close to 90 by now. Thanks for listening
