To improve his jazz skills he studied Jazz guitar with the great Dutch Jazz-guitarist Wim Overgaauw and Latin music with pianist Ilvio Pietersz from Cura?ao ( the Netherlands Antilles).

Intensive study and dedication to the instrument helped him to develope an original and unique guitar style. Always willing to learn and to improve his music skills he traveled to Brasil and Cuba. These journeys had an enormous impact on his playing and composing.

With the release of his debut CD ? L'Art de Sedoction? (1994) followed by ? Facing Changes ? (1998) and his current ? Na Casa de Sedoc ? (2006) Patrick has build his musical house, where Jazz, World-Music and Contemporary Creative Fusion meet.

Over the years Patrick has participated in various musical projects with musicians from all over the world, playing different styles of music at festivals and in clubs all over Europe, the Caribbean and the Americas. Currently he is working as a freelance guitar player and guitar teacher.
