All the way from Brazil, Sylvia Patricia is touring in support of her fifth CD¨ NO RADIO DA MINHA CABEÇA.¨
One of most important composer and singer from Bahia-Brazil, with a really unique personal style, she mixes Bossa Nova and Brazilian Rhythms with Blues, Jazz, Rock and R&B, as well as doses of Latin music.
With her sensual, deep voice, and her versatility as a singer, ranging from whisper to wild chords, Sylvia Patricia was the first Bahian singer to receive the Sharp Prize.
Sylvia Patricia feels comfortable within any musical style being both an academic musician and a popular singer. She studied composing and conducting, classical guitar, piano and even classical Indian music.
Born in Salvador, with indigenous blood she uses the music to talk of love and life’s ups and downs in the metropolis, of sprawling cities that don’t ever stop growing but all from an upbeat female viewpoint.

“One of Canada’s rising stars.” - See Magazine

'Lost – a phenomenon, not a trend." - The Cambridge Voice
"It's not enough to say that Billy The Kid is a talented artist. It isn't enough to say she's successful. It isn't even enough to say that Billy and her band of Lost Boys have a stage–presence worth seeing over and over again. Billy the Kid exemplifies the essence of the independent spirit, charisma and inspiration for artists on the rise or for those hoping for the chance to make it that far. " - Echo Weekly
