Ron Patton

Ron was born and raised in Michigan. While attending college, Ron decided to explore the possibilities of making songwriting a profession.

After graduating from college, Ron continued co-writing and recording songs with his twin brother, Arnold. They constantly promoted their demos to record labels and music publishers in the Detroit area. "We found," says Ron, "that much of the music was custom-made for a select group of artists. Too many people were trying to second guess each other by writing in one particular style." In 1976, the Patton Brothers moved to Los Angeles. Shortly afterward, they began writing songs for Holland-Dozier-Holland Productions in Hollywood.

In 1980, Ron co-founded Baywest Records, based in Northern California.

Recently, Ron has co-written and co-produced for Artists including Jeff Carson, Swiss EDM Artist Tenaj, Michael Jeff, and Amazon Envy available on all music streaming platforms.
