He has also worked as a solo artist, session musician, and sometime vocalist. He wrote and sang on Pilot's two big hits: "January" and "Magic".

He grew up in the south-eastern suburb of Gilmerton in Edinburgh, where he attended Liberton High School.

In the 1980s, Paton was known for his work with Elton John in studio albums and touring around the world. Other credits include bass guitar and backing vocals for several records by Fish, and, in the late 1990s, several albums by Rick Wakeman. In 1984, he was a member of Keats.
