Welcome.. I'm so glad you made it!

Hello, My name is Patrick Tape Fleming. A little bit about me and things I'm proud of. I'm an award-winning Marketing Director, filmmaker, musician, public speaker, producer, podcast host, coach, and storyteller. I thrive on crafting compelling narratives across multiple mediums, whether through music, film, or marketing.

With over 20 years in the music industry, I’ve toured extensively, played over 700 shows, and released several indie records as both a musician and producer. That passion for storytelling extends to my work as a marketing director where I’ve helped brands grow through creative campaigns, authentic storytelling, and a vision that transforms ideas into experiences people remember. I also love telling stories through filmmaking, where I’ve directed and produced brand videos, commercials, music videos and documentary-style pieces that connect on a deeper level. As a marketing strategist and business coach, I’ve helped companies build cross-functional sales funnels that elevated them to industry-leading status.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me digging through record bins, drinking way too much coffee, running through the woods, or coaching my son’s Little League teams. I’m also celebrating 20 years as a Vegan this year.. More than anything, I love hanging out with my son, talking about art and how it's made with friends, sharing music, and creating memories together.

There are certain people in music who don’t just exist in a scene. They define it quietly, without trying. Jennifer Baron has always been one of those people for me. In the 90's you couldn't really find photos of indie…

FREAK OUT TURNS 60

Growing up in small town Iowa in the late 90s, being a music fan was pretty hard. There was no internet to look things up, no YouTube to fall down some endless rabbit hole. It felt more like trying to… Read more

She Lived Through This

What I found so powerful about Melissa Auf book is the tenderness of her memory. Maybe it comes from looking through a lens for so long, capturing thousands of moments, learning how to truly see people. She doesn’t soften the… Read more

They Are The Lucky Ones

A few mornings ago, I was sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee, watching the movie Rushmore. The house was quiet in that sweet way it only is before your ten year old child wakes up. Then you… Read more

I Will Wait Right Here

Right Here by Joanna Sternberg is that fragile emotional space where nothing is broken out loud… but everything is quietly breaking underneath... type of song. The slow ticking awareness. The feeling of love leaving the room and never looking back. … Read more

Take Comfort In Your Friends

I love being a parent. Truly. It’s the greatest job in the world. But it's also at times pretty difficult. One of the hardest parts of it is deciding what to protect our kids from and what to gently let… Read more

I Find Love Making Music With My Friends

Some of the most meaningful music never begins with an audience in mind. It starts in a basement or a room. With friends. With time to kill and something to chase. Recording not because anyone is asking for it, but…

Both Sides Now

We all have had moments in life when the world suddenly feels very small. Moments when everything grows quiet and heavy and you don’t know if you can really go on. We have all been there in one way or… Read more
