Formed summer 2010, WORLD5 is the Pop-Rock band formed around lead singer and Grammy Award winner Pat Hunt.
WORLD5´s founding members and old friends, guitarist Steffen Goeres, saxophonist Stephan Goessl and drummer Raimund Breitfeld have played together since their teenage years. Although life and personal projects put them in different locations around the globe, they kept alive the desires of making music together over the years.
Realizing that very long distances separate them physically but not musically, they recorded their first album "Global Experience" over 3 continents together with former members Don Bruner and Roland Childs.
The bands global influenced pop-rock sound drew the interest of Texans Pat Hunt and Randy Miller, who produced the bands first album, and they joined the band december 2012.

Pat has opened for acts such as Al Jarreau, The Pointer Sisters, Patti Labelle, The Temptations, Willie Nelson, Merle Hagard, The Spinners, George Jones and many more.
