Patton's first recordings were demo tapes made while in high school as part of his band Mr. Bungle; the first, The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny was released in 1986. On the strength of these demo tapes, Patton was invited to sing vocals for rock band Faith No More. His first album for Faith No More, The Real Thing, was nominated for a Grammy Award and it contained the band's most successful single to date, "Epic".

Having gained fame with Faith No More, Mr. Bungle were signed to Warner Bros. Records. Their self-titled debut, although focusing on heavy metal, featured an eclectic mix of funk, free jazz, circus music and various other genres mixed with numerous samples, was released in 1991. The following year saw the release of Faith No More's next album, Angel Dust, the first Patton had musical influence on. It is Faith No More's most successful album to date and is widely considered to be the band's magnum opus.

In 1995, Patton released three albums—King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime with Faith No More, which also saw the release of three singles; Disco Volante with Mr. Bungle; and Elegy with John Zorn, performing vocals all three. He has since released music under different projects and in a variety of different styles such as crooning, falsetto, death growls, rapping, chanting, mouth music, beatboxing and scatting, among others; leading critic Greg Prato call Patton "one of the most versatile and talented singers in rock music".[1]

On April 1, 1999, Patton co-founded the independent record label Ipecac Recordings with Greg Werckman. He has released most of his subsequent output on that label. His directorial debut was in 1993, with an abstract film titled Video Macumba. His first solo album, Adult Themes for Voice, was released in 1996. His first role as actor was in the 2004 film Firecracker. He has released 32 studio albums, 1 EPs, 2 live albums, 15 video albums, composed 4 soundtracks and has made more than 60 other appearances, providing vocals for single tracks. He has worked with such artists as Sepultura, Dan the Automator, John Zorn, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The X-Ecutioners, Merzbow, John Kaada, The Melvins, Dub Trio, Björk, Zu and many more.
