Oates attended North Penn High School in suburban Philadelphia. He is married to Aimee Oates, and his son Tanner John Oates was born on June 19, 1996. John Oates is of Italian descent on his mother's side and Spanish-Moorish on his father's side.

In 1985, Oates co-wrote and produced the single "Love Is Fire" by Canadian pop group Parachute Club, which was performed as a duet between Oates and Parachute Club lead singer Lorraine Segato. The song became a top 40 hit in Canada, and Oates also produced several other tracks on the band's album Small Victories.

He also co-wrote "Electric Blue", a hit single by Icehouse, with Iva Davies.

Despite 30 years as a chart-topping performer and sought after producer, he did not release a solo album until 2002's Phunk Shui.

Oates took part, along with Jamie Cullum, in the song "Greatest Mistake" by Handsome Boy Modeling School. The song appears on the 2004 album White People.
