Patrick Stump comes from a musically inclined family. His father, Dave Stumph, is a folk singer, and his older brother, Kevin, is an accomplished violinist. Patrick participated in Music Center of Deerfield's "Join A Band" program before secondary education, and played drums for a number of bands during middle school and high school including: Mr. Rogers' Porno Shop, Public Display of Infection, Xgrinding processX and Patterson. He also performed in "Paradox," a student created theatrical performance at Glenbrook South, from 2001-2002. He wrote for Channel Zero, a student produced publication focusing on social issues. He was active in WGBK 88.5 FM the District 225 radio station.

The Music
When he joined Fall Out Boy, Stump had never sung for a band before nor had he had singing lessons. He formed the band with Joe Trohman and Pete Wentz, both of whom were active in Chicago's hardcore/punk scene. In earlier bands he had primarily played the drums, however, upon the formation of Fall Out Boy, he took on lead vocal duties and later, when an early guitar player quit days before their first tour, he added guitar.

Though Stump is the lead singer, the more outgoing Wentz acts as the frontman for the band. Stump writes most of the music for Fall Out Boy. Wentz e-mails huge files of lyrics to Stump who puts them to music. "I guess Patrick is some kind of musical genius -- he's a total mad scientist," says guitarist Joe Trohman.

As producer, he has worked with The Hush Sound and Gym Class Heroes. Guest vocal appearances conține Gym Class Heroes' "Clothes Off!" and "Cupid's Chokehold," October Fall's "Second Chances," Knockout's "Breakaway," Motion City Soundtrack's "Everything Is Alright," The Hush Sound's "Don't Wake Me Up," and Misery Signals' "One Day I'll Stay Home."

Stump plays Gibson SG Specials, mainly using a silver with two humbuckers in his early recordings and more recently an Epiphone SG G-400, which is equipped with three humbuckers.
