In the vibrant world of drumming, where every beat tells a story, Patrick Maley stands out not  just for his rhythmic prowess but for his soul-infused style and flair. Born in the city of  Philadelphia, Patrick had a natural inclination towards rhythm from an early age. His journey  into music began not with drums, but with the world around him. From the pattering of rain on  his bedroom window to the syncopated clatter of city life, he found music in everything. 

As a drummer, percussionist, author, and educator, his journey is a testament to a life lived in  tempo with passion, innovation, and collaboration. 

In 1995, alongside his brother, Patrick co-founded the critically acclaimed group SIRIS, which  would redefine musical boundaries. Pioneering the fusion of English and Chinese music, SIRIS  became the first band in history to not only sing in both languages but also to craft original  compositions that resonated across cultures. For nearly three decades, the music of SIRIS has  continued to be enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide. 

Patrick's musical voyage boasts collaborations that read like a hall of fame. He has shared the  stage with rock 'n' roll royalty such as The Beach Boys, Little Richard, and provided the  heartbeat for legends like The Rip Chords, The Crystals, The Drifters, Mickey Dolenz of The  Monkees, Vic Flick (the original composer of the James Bond Theme), and Mary Wilson of The  Supremes. His versatility shines through whether he's laying down tracks with Lukas Rossi or  performing with Kristina Craig. 

His expertise has earned him acclaim from guitar maestro Vic Flick, who lauded Patrick for his  impeccable timing and musicality. 

Patrick's skills were recently showcased in the KISS documentary KISSTORY, where he co composed original music and re-created the iconic Peter Criss drum solo from "100,000 Years." 

Offstage, Patrick is an advocate for music education and an acclaimed author. His book, "The  Rhythm of Life," debuted at #1 on Amazon in the music/percussion category, becoming an  essential guide for drummers and musicians alike. The book was enthusiastically endorsed by his  mentor, drumming legend Chester Thompson. 

For Patrick, creating music transcends profession; it's about crafting a positive and enduring  legacy. As SIRIS prepares for their new album release in 2025, Patrick Maley's story continues  to unfold, promising more innovations, collaborations, and an ever-evolving dialogue with the  heartbeat of music.
