Patrick Stump

Patrick Stump is best known as the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and primary composer of the rock band Fall Out Boy, one of the most commercially successful bands of the 2000s and 2010s. Born in Evanston, Illinois, Stump joined Fall Out Boy in 2001 as a drummer before the band recognized his exceptional vocal talent and moved him to the frontman position. His powerful, soulful voice became one of the defining elements of the band’s sound.

Fall Out Boy achieved mainstream breakthrough with their second album “From Under the Cork Tree” (2005), which sold over 2.7 million copies in the US and produced hit singles “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance.” The band followed with “Infinity on High” (2007) and “Folie a Deux” (2008), both debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. After a hiatus from 2009 to 2013, Fall Out Boy returned with “Save Rock and Roll” (2013), which also debuted at number one and marked an impressive commercial comeback.

Beyond Fall Out Boy, Stump has built a significant career as a solo artist, record producer, and film composer. He released his solo album “Soul Punk” in 2011 and has produced records for other artists. His work in film and television scoring has become increasingly prominent, with Stump composing music for various projects. He has also lent his vocal and musical talents to collaborations with artists across multiple genres, from hip-hop to electronic music.

Stump’s wealth comes from decades of record sales, songwriting royalties, touring with Fall Out Boy, his production work, and his growing film scoring career. Fall Out Boy has continued to be a major touring act, regularly headlining arenas and festivals worldwide. The band’s catalog continues to generate significant streaming revenue, with songs like “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Thnks fr th Mmrs” remaining hugely popular across streaming platforms.
