The Profile

American singer, composer and producer known as the lead vocalist of Faith No More and co-founder of Ipecac Recordings. Patton spans experimental rock, avant-garde projects and film scores, with prolific work across Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk and beyond.

Lead vocalist of Faith No More; member/co-founder of Mr. Bungle, Fantômas and Tomahawk; creator of the Peeping Tom project; co-founder of Ipecac Recordings; active since the mid-1980s; American; film/TV composer with credits including Crank: High Voltage, The Place Beyond the Pines and 1922; released Mondo cane (Italian pop reinterpretations) and experimental vocal albums such as Adult Themes for Voice and Pranzo Oltranzista.

Four DeBaser reviews paint Patton as a shape-shifting performer and studio trickster. Mondo cane wins praise for witty, lush Italian pop reinventions. Pranzo Oltranzista channels Zorn-tinged avant-garde chaos. One Rome gig draws fire for sound and attitude; others hail sheer style and command.
