Patton is know as a five-time chart-topping Billboard recording artist, composer, producer and entrepreneur. His album Finally Living, made him the first independent gospel artist to have a number one album on the Billboard gospel charts.

As a teen, Patton was asking to revive a choir for a local high school, and that momentum led him to found Deliverance For Youth or DFY, the youth choir. Patton established a reputation of community service and the Minnesota Governor, Mark Dayton, declared July 31, 2016 Jovonta Patton Day.
