Background

Patterson's first major band was the nu metal, female-fronted Otep. He played on their first two albums, "Sevas Tra" and "House of Secrets".

He began playing guitar for Korn in July 2005. He was temporarily replaced by Christian Olde Wolbers of Fear Factory for the first three shows of the tour's 2006 European leg. No official statements were made to explain why Wolbers played only the first three shows (Portugal and Spain). Patterson resumed his role after those shows. He has a recording with Korn on ""

However, Patterson left Korn shortly after the MTV Unplugged sessions because of a personal fallout with Munky. Following his departure, he released a solo EP on iTunes, "Dr. Z".

Patterson was brought back into Korn in January 2008 following Munky's supposed hiatus. He is now playing alongside Shane Gibson. He is currently in the process of working on a full length solo record, Recording tracks and doing pre-production in New Orleans, Louisiana. A release date has been slated for October of 2008.

He has recently been DJ-ing all over the country from LA to Florida, including 2 VMA parties in Los Angeles, and the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FLA.
