Lucien Patten

Lucien’s passion for music and recording started early—he got his first guitar at seven and spent weekends shadowing in his father’s studio. After six years of honorable service in the U.S. Army, he moved to Nashville to study at The Blackbird Academy. Following his graduation and internship at Blackbird Studio, Lucien was hired as a night manager, and also took on roles as an instructor at The Blackbird Academy and as a liaison for the University of New Haven’s study away program.

Beyond teaching, Lucien works as a freelance engineer and assistant at Blackbird, where he’s worked with artists like Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Tucker Wetmore, Dylan Gossett, Sam Barber, Craig Morgan, Amanda Shires, Mickey Guyton, JohnnySwim, Jelly Roll, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Fitz and The Tantrums.
