‘S e seinneadair, sgrìobhaiche òrain agus cluicheadair-piàna a th’ ann am Pàdraig Mac a’ Phearsain, a tha stèidhte ann an Inbhir Nis. Às deidh dha ceumnachadh à Oilthigh Obar Dheathain le ceum ann an ceòl, ghluais e chun Eilein Sgìtheanaich gus ceum a dhèanamh ann an Gàidhlig agus ceòl aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. Ann an 2021, choisinn Pàdraig an duais chliùiteach, An Aigeallan Airgid, aig a’ Mhòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail airson seinn. An ath bhliadhna, fhuair e troimhe chun iar-chuairt dheireannach de Neach-Ciùil Òg Traidiseanta na Bliadhna aig a’ BhBC. Bidh Pàdraig a’ seinn agus a’ cluich a’ phiàna ann an iomadh stoidhle: Gàidhlig agus òrain Albannach, jazz, ceòl dùthchasach, pop agus tuath-cheòl. A bharrachd air an sin, bidh e a’ seinn òrain fhèin cuideachd.
