Patrick Hernandez nació el 6 de abril de 1949 en Le Blanc-Mesnil, una pequeña comuna en la periferia de París, Francia. De ascendencia española por parte de su padre y austríaca por parte de su madre, Patrick creció en un entorno multicultural que en gran medida influyó en su amor por la música. Desde muy joven, mostró un interés apasionado por la música y comenzó a aprender a tocar varios instrumentos, incluído el piano y la guitarra.
En sus años de adolescencia, Patrick se sumergió en el mundo del rock 'n' roll y el rhythm and blues, lo que le llevó a formar parte de diversas bandas locales. Fue durante este periodo que conoció a Jean Vanloo, un prolífico productor belga, quien más adelante jugaría un papel crucial en su carrera.
El momento decisivo en la vida de Patrick llegó en 1978, cuando él y Jean Vanloo colaboraron en la creación de una canción que se convertiría en un himno inmortal del género disco: “Born to Be Alive”. La canción, lanzada en 1979, se convirtió en un éxito inmediato y alcanzó los primeros puestos en las listas de éxitos de numerosos países, incluidos Estados Unidos, Canadá, Australia y muchos países europeos.
El éxito de "Born to Be Alive" catapultó a Patrick a la fama internacional y lo convirtió en una estrella de la noche a la mañana. La mezcla vibrante de ritmos

We were born to be—
Alive!
We were born to be—
Alive!
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes, we were
Born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
Time was on my side when I was
Running down the street, it was no
Bind, bind, bind
A suitcase and an old guitar and
Something new to occupy my
Mind, mind, mind
Yes, we were born
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
Yes, we were
Born, born, born

People asked me why I never
Find a place to stop and settle
Down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify their
Lives, lives, lives
Yes, we were born
Born, born to be alive

Yes, we were
Born, born, born

To be alive
It's good to be alive
