He has also worked as a solo artist, session musician, and sometime vocalist. In the eighties, David was well-known for his work with Elton John in studio albums and touring around the world.

  • David Paton is een Brits zanger, gitarist en basgitarist. In 1970 is Paton betrokken bij de oprichting van de Bay City Rollers; hun manager Tam Paton is zijn vader. Voordat Bay City Rollers serieus wordt is Paton alweer vertrokken. In 1971 komt hij mede ex-BCR-lid William Lyall weer tegen en beginnen ze demo's op te nemen, de Craighall Demos. In 1973 voegt Stuart Tosh zich bij hen, en is de band Pilot geboren. Nadat ze Ian Bairnson hebben gevraagd als gitarist verschuift Paton zijn aandacht naar de basgitaar. Als in 1977 Pilot ophoudt te bestaan, gaan Paton en Bairnson samen verder in The Alan Parsons Project waar ze ook weer Tosh tegen komen. Daarnaast spelen zowel Bairnson als Paton op talloze muziekalbums van diverse artiesten. Hij is betrokken bij de band Keats, dat maar één album maakt. In 2002 komen Paton en Bairnson weer samen als de vraag in Japan naar hun Pilotalbum Two’s a Crowd dermate groot wordt, dat ze het bijna in zijn geheel weer opnemen. Het wordt alleen in Japan uitgegeven onder de titel Blue Yonder. Dat Pilot in Japan anno 2007 nog steeds populair is blijkt uit het feit dat het album Two’s a Crowd alsnog op cd verschijnt en Paton en Tosh een concert geven onder de naam Pilot. Paton heeft drie soloalbums op zijn naam staan: Music from the mountain Fragments The Search
  • David Paton er en skotsk musiker som er mest kjent for sin rolle som bassist for progrockbandene Pilot og Alan Parsons Project. David Paton har som profesjonell musiker vært involvert i skotske rockeband siden midten av 1960-tallet. Tidlig på 1970-tallet ble han som grunnleggende medlem bassist, vokalist og låtskriver for bandet Pilot, som også inkluderte Ian Bairnson på gitar og Stuart Tosh på trommer. Her skrev han blant annet hitlåtene «It's Magic» og «January» før Pilot senere ble absorbert inn i bandet Alan Parsons Project og Paton spilte på alle albumene bandet ga ut mellom 1975 til 1985. I 1982 under plateinnspilling med Alan Parsons Project på Abbey Road Studios, besøkte Paton og vokalisten Chris Rainbow progrockbandet Camel, som var i nabostudioet og spilte inn albumet Nude. De stiftet et bekjentskap til Andrew Latimer og de ble i en kort periode en del av Camel, hvor Paton etterhvert ble med i innspillingene «The Single Factor» (1982), «Stationary Traveller» (1984), «Dust and Dreams» (1991) og «Harbour of Tears» (1996) samt noen turnéer etter disse. Senere på 1980-tallet var han også med som bassist i bandet til Fish, som han forlot tidlig på 1990-tallet, og for Elton John, Paul McCartney og flere. Paton ga ut et soloalbum i 1993, men utgivelsen var markedsført diskret. I dag bor David Paton i Costa Blanca, Spania, hvor han driver sitt eget studio og har spilt inn utgivelser for flere artister.
