Hi, I’m Patricia Zehentmayr, songwriter, book writer, lyricist. My first experience with live performance was a ballet of Peter Rabbit my parents took me to when I was 18 months. Evidently, I was completely mesmerized and made the very smart decision to begin the living of my life as a continuous song and dance. My parents found that charming, my older sister found it ridiculous and mortifying because I did not differentiate between doing this at home or in a grocery store. It’s no surprise, then, that I was dancing, singing and acting professionally as soon as I turned 16. Several injuries and a four-year illness later, I was writing music, teaching movement, meditation, and wellness.

COVID has afforded me the opportunity to focus full-time on my creative projects and I now write popular music for media placements and am developing a full-length musical (my 4th) about the early years of Catherine the Great, The Path to Catherine.
