Patrick Nuo (born August 31, 1982) is a Swiss-Albanian recording artist and actor. He currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
Nuo was born and raised in Lucerne, Switzerland, where he lived till the age of 17 years old. His mother is a Swiss and his father is an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo. He also has a younger brother named Simon. At the age of fourteen, Nuo abandoned all hope of becoming a popular tennis pro and decided to focus on a musical career instead. After a few misleading steps at home, he managed to move to Hamburg, Germany where he was engaged as a backing vocalist for several record productions. In the meantime he also worked as a model for charity projects. His final home of residence for many years now is Los Angeles, California.
In 2002, Patrick met producer and songwriter David Jost, who helped Nuo sign a contract with Warner Music. In the following months, the duo created a whole album together, which was eventually released under the name Welcome in September 2003. A top 20 chart success in Switzerland and Germany, it spawned three singles; including debut single "5 Days" and follow-up "Reanimate", which reached number 18 on the Swiss Singles Chart. That same year, Nuo joined Zeichen der Zeit, a Christian music project whose first single "Du bist nicht allein" became a top ten success in Germany. A second single released from the project's self-titled compilation album, "Ein weiterer Morgen", entered the top forty of the German Singles Chart the following year. Also in 2004, a reissue of Welcome was released. It produced the single "Undone", which served as the theme song for American comedy film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) in German-speaking Europe.
