Patrick Hamilton, owner of The Globe Recording Studios and Bromo Music Publishing, was born in Brugge (Belgium) on 16 March 1963. Both his parents were musicians, so it wasn’t a surprise that one day he would become a musician too. He started piano and organ lessons at the age of seven. He studied classical music (piano, organ, harmony,... etc.) and jazz arranging at the Royal Musical High School in Gent. From 1981 he was working for Hammond as a demonstrator.

His carreer took a lift in 1990 when he became a member of the LSP-Band, a very popular Belgian band. Later on he also joined other bands like Radio 2-band, VTM-Soapband, Groove Collection, etc...
