Patrick Stump:
Patrick Stump (born on April 27, 1984 in Glenview, Illinois) is an Irish American singer-songwriter, composer, record producer and music critic. Most notably, he is a composer, lead singer, rhythm guitarist, and occasional pianist of Fall Out Boy, an American band from Chicago,Illinois. He has also begun producing the works of other bands, such as Gym Class Heroes, Tyga, and Cobra Starship, among others.
Before Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump was the drummer of a few suburban Chicago bands. Despite originally auditioning as the drummer, and having no previous experience singing in a band, he became the somewhat reluctant lead singer after his vocal range was discovered. Several lineup changes were to follow, and he then began playing rhythm guitar for the band. At this point, current drummer Andy Hurley was also brought in.
