Tanner Patrick Howe (born May 24, 1991 in Los Angeles) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist from Dallas, Texas. In August 2011, Patrick began uploading videos to his YouTube channel, “TannerPatrick”, which now has over 1,000,000 subscribers and over 110,000,000 views.

Tanner Patrick was born in Los Angeles and then moved with his family to Dallas, Texas when he was 4 years old. One year after moving to Texas, Tanner’s parents encouraged him to take piano lessons. When Tanner was 10 years old, he received his first guitar as a Christmas gift and began to write and record music using a cassette recorder known as a Talkboy.

At the age of 17, Patrick was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.The following month after diagnosis, Patrick created the band Disco Curtis with longtime friends, Garrett Perales and AJ Novak. During the summer of 2009, Patrick’s lung spontaneously collapsed twice (first in July and again in September), sending him to the hospital and forcing him to undergo a medical procedure known as Pleurodesis. Just a few days after being released from the hospital, the band was back to recording and playingg shows. After one year of touring independently and generating buzz on social networking sites, the band signed to MySpace/Interscope Records, joined the 2010 Vans Warped Tour, performed at Bamboozle West in California (2010) and played touring shows with Boys Like Girls and Forever The Sickest Kids.

Upon the conclusion of the Warped Tour, Tanner announced on September 10, 2010 that the other members of Disco Curtis were leaving the band to attend college. In late September 2010, Tanner moved to Los Angeles for the remainder of the year to write, refocus, and demo new songs as a solo artist.

Patrick plays acoustic guitar, bass guitar, piano, and other instruments.
