Patchwerk Recording Studios

About the Business:

Patchwerk Recordings was born out of Patchwerk founder and former CEO/ 13 year Atlanta Falcons Offensive Tackle Bob Whitfield’s love of music.  After financing studio time to record a demo for a high school friend and aspiring rapper Ras Kass, Bob began to realize the magnitude of Ras’ talents and the potential to build a business around this burgeoning genre of music.  He soon enlisted the help of college friend and entrepreneur BJ Kerr.  Operations began in 1994 with the release of Ras’ now classic first single “Remain Anonymous”.  The success of that single led to Patchwerk partnering with Priority Records in 1995 and the release of Ras’ album Soul On Ice.
