He came to prominence in the late 1970s as co-founder, lead vocalist, and keyboardist of the new wave band Devo, whose "Whip It" was a top 20 single in the US in 1980, peaking at No. 14, and which has since maintained a cult following. Mothersbaugh was one of the primary composers of Devo's music. In addition to his work with Devo, Mothersbaugh has made music for television series, films, and video games via his production company, Mutato Muzika.

As a solo musician, Mothersbaugh has released four studio albums: Muzik for Insomniaks, Muzik for the Gallery, Joyeux Mutato, and The Most Powerful Healing Muzik in the Entire World. In 2004, he received the Richard Kirk Award at the BMI Film and TV Awards for his contributions to film and television music. In 2008, Mothersbaugh received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Kent State University, his alma mater.

Music-centric series "dirtgirlworld," geared toward preschoolers, aims to introduce children to the joys of outdoor play and sustainable, green living. The series features dirtgirl, a gumboot-wearing girl who grows tomatoes and drives a big orange tractor, and her backyard full of friends, including her best friend next door who is a whiz with junk, a stunt star with an inferiority complex, a monosyllabic scarecrow and the green thumbs -- real kids in real gardens having unreal fun. The series, a distinctive blend of live action and animation, takes the audience to a world in which the real and unreal collide.
