Miss Pat - My Reggae Music Journey I Official Book Promo Video

Miss Pat: My Reggae Music Journey is not a typical “vanity” autobiography. At most points in the book, Chin - although she is the cause of a given cultural-changing event - acts more like an outside observer, with an even-keeled and non-self-centered narrative approach. At its core, beyond the star-studded, legendary musical names that whiz by the reader at dizzying speeds, it is a book about family; love of home & homeland; perseverance; and business agility. With the help of co-authors Anicee Gaddis, John Masouri, Alex Lee and James “Jazz” Goring, it is presented with a humility and warmth that draws the reader in, no matter their knowledge of music or even Pat’s illustrious history.
The book is presented with dozens of never-before-seen artist and family photos, alongside original illustrations by the late Michael Thompson and book designer Maria Papaefstathiou.
“[VP Records is] one of Reggae’s biggest and most diverse success stories.”
- New York Times, Jon Caramanica
“Randy [Chin] was the first person who was setting up something for the people to survive [in the ‘60s], so they were the best people in the record business. They were simply the best, and Miss Pat was the brains.”
- Lee “Scratch” Perry
For the past many years, Miss Pat has focused her passions on “giving back,” including promoting and showcasing the work of the late illustrator Michael Thompson, and the creation of a pop-up exhibit titled “A Reggae Music Journey.” The recent launch of the Vincent & Pat Chin Foundation, A 501-3C corporation focused on the upliftment of Caribbean youth through education and the arts, has been a crowning achievement to her legacy. Miss Pat lives and works in Queens, New York.
A percentage of the proceeds from all book sales will go towards the new Vincent & Pat Chin Foundation.
