Patrick Stump Wiki Bio
Patrick Martin Stumph, also known as Patrick Vaughn Stump, was born in Evanston, Illinois USA on 27 April 1984 – his zodiac sign is Taurus, and he holds American nationality. He’s a singer-songwriter, actor and a movie composer, who’s probably known best for being the frontman and the rhythm guitarist of the band Fall Out Boy.
Early life and education
Patrick was raised in Evanston alongside his two older siblings, by their mother Patricia (nee Vaughn) who was an accountant, and their father David who’s a folk singer.
Patrick became interested in music at a very early age, especially when he was around eight years old, which was when his parents divorced. He found comfort in music and listened to various genres, but mostly to rock and metal.
He studied at Glenbrook South High School, and during his four years there, Patrick learned to play the drums, and was a member of several punk bands, such as Patterson, Arma Angelus and Public Display of Infection. During this period, Patrick was mostly influenced by Michael Jackson and Nat King Cole.
Upon matriculating in 2002, he didn’t enroll at college, but remained focused on music.
Career as a musician
In 2001, Patrick auditioned to become the drummer of Fall Out Boy, however, he was instead chosen as the lead singer, and later a guitarist. Their first mini long-play (LP) was released in March 2003, entitled “Fall Out Boy’s Evening Out with Your Girlfriend”, and later that year, on 6 May, their debut album was released, entitled “Take This to Your Grave”. It was around this time that Patrick dropped ‘h’ from his surname, because people were mispronouncing it.
The band signed a contract with Island Records, and in 2004 their debut extended play (EP) came out, entitled “My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue”. It marked the boys’ first entry on the Billboard 200 Chart, placing #153. Their album “From Under the Cork Tree” was released on 3 May 2005, and it climbed to #9 on the Billboard 200, and has since been certified double platinum. Their third album “Infinity on High” came out in 2007, topping the Billboard 200 Chart, and the boys then toured around the world to support the album.
On 10 December 2008, their fourth album entitled “Folie a Deux” was released, peaking at #8 on the Billboard 200 Chart, after which in the second half of 2009, Fall Out Boy took an indefinite break, to rest and focus on other things – Patrick concentrated on his solo career, while his colleagues Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley formed the heavy metal band The Damned Things.
On 22 February 2011, Patrick released his debut solo EP entitled “Truant Wave”, and on 18 October 2011, his debut solo album “Soul Punk” came out. He spent most of 2010 and 2011 performing around the US, until in the early 2012 announcing that he needed a break, and would stop performing for a while. He was away from music until 4 February 2013, when Fall Out Boy reunited, and two months later, on 12 April, the boys released their new album “Save Rock and Roll”.
The new album topped the Billboard 200 Chart, and the group again went on tour all around the US through 2014. On 16 January 2015, their sixth album “American Beauty/American Psycho” came out, topping the Billboard 200 Chart, and on 19 January 2018, the boys released their seventh album, entitled “Mania”, topping the chart again.
Most recently, on 23 August 2018, Fall Out Boy released their EP “Lake Effect Kid”.
