Born and raised in suburban Chicago, Patrick Stump is the lead singer for Fall Out Boy, which initially rose to fame as one of the most successful emo-punk bands during the early 21st century.
When Fall Out Boy went on hiatus in 2009, Stump launched a solo pop-punk effort, influenced by R&B, soul and electronica. The versatile musician wrote all the tracks, played all the instruments and handled production on his 2011 solo debut album *Soul Punk*.
In 2013, Fall Out Boy returned with a vengeance and a reimagined sound. Comeback album Save Rock and Roll and 2015 follow up American Beauty/American Psycho both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and were massive mainstream successes. Loaded with anthemic, dance-ready hits, Fall Out Boy not only mounted an amazing comeback, but pole-vaulted to yet a new level of pop stardom.
