Putting the "harm" back into harmony.....

About Me


Jaye Muller and Ben Patton met in 2002, two songwriters with similar tastes and personalties. After playing in each other's bands, they decide to collaborate on a duo album, simply called "Muller and Patton".
Clearly audible in their music are the influence of the Beatles, Queen, Brian Wilson, David Bowie, the Zombies and other melodic and intricately arranged pop-rock.
Jaye Muller was born in Berlin, East Germany, and moved to Paris, France, where he recorded the hit album "We Are The Majority" as "J." He then moved to New York to create the follow-up album but got sidetracked with creating an internet company (j2) instead... Now living in London he is concentrating on songwriting again, crafting timeless melodies and sophisticated chord changes.
Vermont-born Ben Patton recorded ten home-made albums before he was out of his teens. These won him a loyal following around New England, even before his first official release, "Here's the Good News Album" in 2004. He promoted it in America, Europe and Asia, and quickly followed it up with the acclaimed album "Because the Heart".
After the phenomenal success of their first album, fans will be delighted to know that Jaye and Ben have reprised their collaboration on a rock opera called "Jonathan and Bailey". As soon as mastering at Abbey Road was completed, the album was released on in March 2008. Click HERE to find out more about it. An EP with 3 songs has been release on 7" vinyl.
