Early life

Stump started her musical career as a drummer in various bands begining in junior high.

In spite of his being the literal voice of the band however, he is often quiet or reserved in interviews; thus, the more outgoing Wentz acts as the frontman for the band.

In a partnership Stump has described as "Similar to Bacharach and David," Wentz e-mails huge files of lyrics to Stump who puts them to music. [2]

As producer, he has worked with The Hush Sound and Gym Class Heroes. Guest vocal appearances include 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]
