Patrick Martin Stump (born Patrick Martin Stumph) on April 27, 1984 in Glenview, Illinois) is a Chicago musician, composer and producer. Most notably, he is the lead singer and guitarist of the band Fall Out Boy. His vocal range is described as tenor. [1]
Early life
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 [citation needed]. Patrick participated in Music Center of Deerfield's program before secondary education, and played drums for a number of bands during middle school and high school including: Public Display of Infection, Xgrinding processX, and Patterson. He also performed in "Paradox," a student created theatrical performance at Glenbrook South, from 2000-2002. 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 [citation needed]. Patrick got rid of the "H" on his name because of pronunciation errors.
Career
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, he seems to be extremely camera shy; thus, 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. [2]
As a 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." [citation needed]
Stump plays Gibson SG Specials, mainly using a silver with two humbuckers in his early recordings and more recently an Epiphone SG G-400 Custom, which is equipped with three humbuckers[citation needed]. His current guitar is still a Gibson SG, but with a custom graphic designed after the new Fall Out Boy album due for release on February 6th, 2007. The album is called Infinity on High.

Quotes
Patrick: I think too many bands mistake sounding like greatness for “being great,” and being great is something that happens without anyone knowing it. I just want to be the best band we can be. I kind of have this cognitive feeling that this is the best I’m going to do. The height of myself as a writer, and I’m very lucky to have Pete, Andy, and Joe to play off of right now and to make it better.
Patrick: One of the things I look for [now] in a woman is for her to hate my band. I love when girls couldn't possibly care less for Fall Out Boy. But then it's hard to get them to come to the shows.
Patrick: (on if the band would go out on top with the album "Infinity On High") I think this band could go on forever - but it could very well be the last record because I could die in a plane crash. I'm happy enough with this record that if it was the last and that plane goes down, I'm not f***ing missing anything.
Patrick: (on when the private pictures of FOB bassist leaked onto the Internet) I was never pissed at Pete for being Pete in his own time. I am pissed at whoever stole that picture and leaked it, and for being such a douchebag and having no sense of decency or privacy.
Patrick: I've always had a little acting bug, but one of the problems is that if I wanted to do it right now, they'd want me to play a rock star or something. I'm not a believable rock star! If you cast me as a rock dude, I wouldn't buy it.
Patrick: [Music is] what moves me. But I don’t think anyone wants to read about that. I think that the reason you don’t know that much about me is because I don’t really care about me. I’m not an interesting story.
Patrick: (on Fall Out Boy's album "Infinity On High") It's not I'm trying to make something that sells many records - I just wanted to make it really good.
Patrick: We're four totally awkward, nerdy guys, with the coolest job in the universe.
Patrick: There’s a song by Randy Numan called 'Short People', and I think it's hilarious. I think it's perfect for me, because it kind of has my overall self deprecating 'Yeah, I'm short'. But on top of that, it has this kind of sarcastic separation because the tag line is 'short people got no reason to live' right... and that's like, the main line of the song. So that's funny to say about yourself. 'Oh, I'm short man. Everything sucks' right... and to a certain degree I mock myself and I put myself down. But in all seriousness, I'm happy with myself and the song is totally in jest and the combination of the tone and lyrics is fără cusur for me. That's my song.
Patrick: I don’t have text messaging or anything I only use my cell phone to call my girlfriend after shows. I’m not good with electronics I hardly ever watch TV.
Patrick: It's like, we're not in bands because we want the MTV. We're in bands because we enjoy doing it.
Patrick: Of all the things I have to be self-conscious about, my looks are on top of the heap.
Patrick: I'm horribly uncomfortable with being the frontman. With Pete, I get to be the anti-frontman. There's no attention one me; I just get to sing. Pete loves photo shoots, and I hate them. t of the time on tour, I see a city from the bus.
