Mike Patton was born Michael Allan Patton on January 27, 1968, in Eureka, California. He is the son of a social worker mother and a P.E. teacher father. Mike was a good student and played sports in elementary school, but he didn't have many friends because he was focused on making good grades. While attending Eureka High School, he met guitarist Trey Spruance and bassist Trevor Dunn, who were both members of the school's jazz ensembles and music theory class. Patton and Dunn joined the heavy metal cover band Gemini, followed by Fiend, a thrash metal cover band. After they were kicked out of Fiend, the duo recorded a death metal tape, with Patton playing the instruments and Dunn singing. In 1984, they formed Mr. Bungle with Spruance and drummer Jed Watts. After graduation, Mike studied English literature at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, with plans to pursue a career as a writer. In 1986, he met Faith No More during a show at a pizza parlor, and Spruance gave Mr. Bungle's demo tape to drummer Mike Bordin. In the '80s, Mr. Bungle released the cassettes "The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny" (1986), "Bowel of Chiley" (1987), "Goddammit I Love America" (1988), and "OU818" (1989).

Patton became the new lead vocalist of Faith No More in 1988, and he performed on the albums "The Real Thing" (1989), "Angel Dust" (1992), "King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime" (1995), and "Album of the Year" (1997). "The Real Thing" was certified Platinum in several countries and reached #11 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and "Angel Dust" peaked at #10 on that chart. All four of those albums reached the top 10 on the charts in multiple countries. "Epic" from "The Real Thing" was a top 10 hit in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand, and "Midlife Crisis" from "Angel Dust" topped the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.

During his time with Faith No More, Mike also kept performing with Mr. Bungle. He performed on Mr. Bungle's 1991 self-titled album as well as their albums "Disco Volante" (1995) and "California" (1999).

In 2020, Mr. Bungle released their fourth studio album, "The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo," which was their best-performing album on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at #30. Patton has released the solo albums "Adult Themes for Voice" (1996), "Pranzo Oltranzista" (1997), and "Mondo Cane" (2010)," and he has worked as a composer on film and television projects such as "Crank: High Voltage" (2009), "The Place Beyond the Pines" (2012), "1922" (2017), and "NOS4A2" (2019).
