Donate to the academyBuilt for people who want real training, without college tuition.
Patrick King is a composer, producer, pianist and singer/songwriter from Portsmouth. He founded the academy because many people can't go to college for music but still want quality training from people they can trust.
He has produced, written and arranged for many Virginia artists, and served as Music Director and Worship Leader for churches across the state.
