Patricia Lighten was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, to a musically inclined family. Patricia states her talent as a vocalist is a gift from the family. Yet, she is quick to acknowledge that her family has many talents and skills in many areas of music. Lighten's first performance in singing was with her family in the church. Her dad knew that the family could expand their music ability by staying in the school's music department while completing their education. Patricia says, "He built us up in the things of God musically and we learned the other skills from school." Starting in elementary school, Patricia learned about full-blown musical productions.
From there it expanded all the way to technical school. She had the opportunity to sing with the Ron Winans Family and Friends Choir on three albums. Patricia Lighten has been using this singing gift in the choir since 1988 with her church (Word of Faith International Christian Center). Patricia loves to give Worship and Praise of thanksgiving to God as He has blessed her singing voice to expand internationally. To serve is what Patricia Lighten does.
Patricia has received formal training in other areas. She went to school for Computerize Accounting, received two licenses: Cosmetology and Instructor in
Cosmetology from Virginia Farrell Beauty College then added on to this field of study an Associate Science Degree in Business from OCC. She receive
a diploma from Bible Training Center of WOF/certificate from
