Born Michael Allan Patton on January 27, 1968 in Eureka, California, Patton discovered his vocal talents when he and some high-school friends, Trey Spruance and Trevor Dunn, formed the whacked-out Mr. Bungle. The band recorded the casette-only recordings, including The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny, Goddammit I Love America, Bowel of Chiley and OU818. These featured tracks that were later included on their first Warner Bros. Records release. He has also played for Tomahawk, Lovage, Fantômas, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Peeping Tom.
Patton became famous for his experimental projects as well as his eclectic influences. He got critically acclaimed for the diversity of his array of vocal techniques. VVN Music discovered that Patton has the widest vocal range that any singer has because of his range of six octaves. He eventually became the co-producer or producer of various artists like Kool Keith, John Zorn, Melt-Banana, Sepultura and Melvins. In 1999, Patton was also able to co-found Ipecac Recordings with Greg Werckman. He ran the label since then. Patton was able to take on a wide array of musical endeavors and toured constantly that he got widely identified as a person who is "workaholic."
