Jamaican dancehall singer Dorothy Smith, known professionally as Patra, was born on November 22, 1972, in Jamaica. She began her career in the late 1980s under the stage name Lady Patra. Patra first gained significant attention in the United States when she featured on Shabba Ranks' "Family Affair", which reached number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1994. Her debut album, Queen of The Pack, was released in August 1993 and topped the Reggae albums chart. The album included notable singles such as "Think (About It)" and "Worker Man", which peaked at number 53 on the Hot 100 and Number 1 on the U.S. Dance chart, respectively. In 1995, Patra released her single "Pull Up to the Bumper" and her second album Scent of Attraction, which reached number 28 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. Throughout her career, Patra has collaborated with various artists, including Yo-Yo, Aaron Hall, and Danny English. She took breaks from the music industry to focus on family and education, completing a bachelor's degree in history and political science. In 2014, she released Patra: The Continuation, her fifth studio album.
