Aton played percussion in Sun Ra's Arkestra for several years in the 1970s. As a visual artist, he was known for his outer space-themed murals, which he painted in private homes and on building exteriors in Chicago during the 1960’s and 1970’s. He later became an arts educator in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and rendered hundreds of fine art paintings with African, Egyptian, Native American, Afrofuturist, and abstract motifs.
