He and Pete Wentz have performed together as members of Fall Out Boy.

Patrick Martin Stumph (born April 27, 1984), known professionally as Patrick Vaughn Stump, is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and film composer. He is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Fall Out Boy, originally from Wilmette, Illinois.

Fall Out Boy’s founding guitarist Joe Trohman met Stump over a mutual musical interest, and introduced Stump to bassist Pete Wentz. After originally auditioning as the drummer, Stump became the lead singer and later guitarist for the band. Trohman and Stump switch between lead and rhythm guitar in recording sessions and at live shows, although Stump views himself as more of a rhythm guitarist because of his drumming background. He is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary composer for the band, with bassist Pete Wentz taking lyrical duties. The band’s first mini-LP, Fall Out Boy’s Evening Out with Your Girlfriend, was released in March 2003 on Uprising Records. They then released their first full-length album, Take This to Your Grave on Fueled by Ramen on May 6, 2003. In the same year, Stump decided to professionally drop the “h” in his surname to reduce mispronunciations.

In 2003, Stump and his fellow band members went on to sign with Island Records, and released the acoustic-based EP My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue CD and DVD in 2004 to hold fans over while the group recorded their major label debut. The EP debuted at No. 153 on the Billboard 200, Fall Out Boy’s first entry on that chart (their next entry week would be at No. 9 with From Under the Cork Tree). It also peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Heatseeker Albums and No. 10 on the Billboard Independent Albums. This was followed by their third studio album, From Under the Cork Tree released on May 3, 2005, which was the band’s mainstream breakthrough. It has since been certified double platinum by the RIAA, with a sales total of more than 2.5 million. It debuted and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, becoming the band’s first top-10 album. The chart-topping lead single “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” reached No. 8 on the Hot 100 and received heavy airplay rotation at Pop and Alternative radio. The album’s second single, “Dance, Dance”, also enjoyed mainstream success, peaking at No. 9 on the Hot 100 and becoming Fall Out Boy’s second top-10 hit. It won various awards and was certified platinum. The band heavily toured in 2005 and 2006 in support of From Under the Cork Tree, including headlining Warped Tour, the Nintendo Fusion Tour, and the Black Clouds And Underdogs tour, as well as playing a secret show under the name of Saved Latin at a small venue. Fall Out Boy was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy Award in 2005.

Fall Out Boy’s third studio effort, Infinity on High, was released to major chart success in 2007. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 260,000 sales, becoming the group’s first No. 1 album and second top 10 release. It also debuted atop other various Billboard charts and charted in the top five worldwide. Infinity was spurred on by the lead single, “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race”, which hit No. 2. “Thnks fr th Mmrs”, the second single from the album, peaked at No. 11. Fall Out Boy toured all year worldwide in support of it, with arena gigs in the US.

His solo work has been described as “funky and R&B infused”, while Billboard noted him as “one of the best voices in pop punk”. Fall Out Boy has achieved four top ten singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 and four number one albums on the Billboard 200, firstly with Infinity on High in 2007, and again in 2013 with Save Rock and Roll, 2015 with American Beauty/American Psycho, and 2018 with Mania. Stump has collaborated with other artists (including Damnation A.D. and Timbaland) and has produced albums for artists including Cobra Starship and Gym Class Heroes.

In January 2008, Stump was a guest star on the television crime-drama Law & Order. He appeared in the second episode of Season 18 as Marty Dressler, a lowly employee of an electrical company, who is suspected in the kidnapping of the wife and daughter of an executive. The episode, “Darkness”, aired on January 2, 2008, on NBC as part of the two-hour series season premiere. There was a rumor that he was not paid for this episode, but he has debunked that and said that he was paid well for his appearance.

As a producer, along with a handful of Fall Out Boy tracks, Stump has worked with The Hush Sound on Like Vines, Gym Class Heroes on As Cruel As School Children and Cobra Starship on ¡Viva La Cobra!. He also produced the song “Little Weapon” on Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool. He was featured in a song by hip-hop group The Roots originally intended for their 2008 album Rising Down. In 2008, he executive- and co-produced The Cab’s Whisper War and Gym Class Heroes’ The Quilt, as well as several tracks on Tyga’s No Introduction.

Folie à Deux was released on December 10, 2008. Its sales were less than stellar in comparison to Infinity on High, but gave the band its third consecutive top 10 album, debuting and peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 150,000 opening week sales. The lead single, “I Don’t Care”, landed at No. 21 on the Hot 100 and went Platinum. The band was the opening act for Blink-182’s reunion tour in 2009. They released their first greatest hits album, Believers Never Die – Greatest Hits, later that year, featuring all of their previous single releases, two new songs, including the single “Alpha Dog”, and two rarities. In late 2009 the band took an indefinite break to “decompress”, with the band members embarking on various side projects, with Stump going solo, Trohman and Hurley forming heavy metal supergroup The Damned Things, and Wentz starting the electropop/experimental group Black Cards.

Stump made a short film in 2009, Moustachette which has been shown at film festivals. It stars Stump himself, Pete Wentz, and Yellowcard’s Ryan Key. It was released online in September 2011.

On February 1, 2009, Gretsch released the G5135CVT-PS Patrick Vaughn Stump Signature Series “STUMP-O-MATIC” Electromatic® CVT, based on their model body with personal stylings by Patrick Stump such as a “kill switch” and stripes. Also, Stump signed and gave away two of his signature guitars that he used to record Fall Out Boy’s fifth album, Folie à Deux. He has another Stump-O-Matic with white and silver stripes, which he used for most of the guitar recording on Soul Punk and at his solo concerts.

On November 29, 2010, Stump put up on his website two different versions of his debut song, “Spotlight”, one called “Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)”, and the other “Spotlight (New Regrets)”, with download links for both. Stump expressed that after months he still could not decide which version he liked better and asked his fans to vote on a poll for the version of the single they liked better and wanted to have on the album. The polls closed leaning toward “Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)”, however Stump has since decided to include “Spotlight (New Regrets)” on Soul Punk and put “Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)” on his debut EP, Truant Wave, claiming that the votes were too close and that he felt as if “Oh Nostalgia basically needed its own record”, building Truant Wave around it.

Stump explained that he named the album Soul Punk because he wanted to contribute to the musical vernacular of both. “I’m just as pissed off as I was while screaming in punk bands, but I feel like I’m directing it into something positive and centered around love.” He created a video on his website that shows him playing numerous instruments, starting with drum kit then adding more such as synthesizer, cowbell, electric guitar and bass, amongst others. He performed new songs at his debut solo performance at SXSW 2010 in Austin, Texas, including “As Long As I Know I’m Getting Paid” and “Love, Selfish Love”, which may have originally been from an earlier version of his solo album, but have since been included as a part of his solo debut EP, Truant Wave.

During the production of Soul Punk, Stump contributed a cover of Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” to the 2011 tribute album, Listen to Me: Buddy Holly to a positive reception. Victoria Asher provided backing vocals. Stump and the album’s contributing artists performed at the tribute event at the Music Box Theater.

In May 2011, Stump was the opening act for Bruno Mars and Janelle Monáe on their “Hooligans In Wondaland Tour” for four shows. He began his second US tour (first full-length headline tour) August 3, 2011. Prior to that he performed at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan on July 30. As part of his US tour he played Lollapalooza in Chicago. He announced a month-long US fall tour in support of Panic! at the Disco, beginning on October 9. After the tour, he headlined the Metro in Chicago. He has been a guest at many radio shows. His TV guest appearances include Good Morning New Orleans, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Hoppus on Music.

Stump played twelve small shows around the United States in support of Soul Punk and Truant Wave. He visited Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The tour began on April 3, 2011 in Chicago and ended on April 15 in California. It was his first tour as a solo artist. Shows were also scheduled in London (2 dates); Paris and Cologne. His five-piece backing band consists of bassist Matt Rubano (formerly of Taking Back Sunday), guitarist Michael Day, keyboardist/saxophonist Casey Benjamin (who has performed with Mos Def and Q-Tip), and drummer Skoota Warner. With the addition of Janice Cruz Brooks singing background vocals for the New York City shows at Joe’s Pub. He performed in a sleek black tuxedo, white moon boots and fingerless leather gloves, and on some songs he played the electric guitar. His setlist varied from show to show, and premiered new songs “Explode”, “Allie”, “Cryptozoology” and “Everybody Wants Somebody” which turned out to be Soul Punk tracks. Covers performed included “Cupid’s Chokehold” by Gym Class Heroes, “All of the Lights” by Kanye West, “Kiss My Sass” by Cobra Starship, “Me and Mrs. Jones” by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, and “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Prince. He played songs from Truant Wave as well as “Spotlight (New Regrets)” which he previously released as a 7″ vinyl.

A month later, on May 6, 2011, he updated his website and also posted to his Facebook and Twitter, announcing “I feel like I’m gonna explode 5.9.11” with a link which led to a video called “Tsar bomba”, which was a video of a bomb explosion. The “I feel like I’m gonna explode” phrase came from his song “Explode”, which Stump premiered at his live show and ended up on Soul Punk. “Explode” was released on May 9, 2011. NyMag.com commented that the song is “heavily indebted to Michael Jackson and, in good news for FOB loyalists, not totally unlike Stump’s old band”. The song’s video caption read “Soul Punk: coming late Summer”. On June 27, 2011, Stump wrote on his Facebook and Twitter page, “Tuesday”. The next day (the Tuesday he was referring to), Stump released a remix of a Soul Punk track, “This City”, featuring rapper Lupe Fiasco. On July 26, the remix was released as the album’s first single to iTunes.

On April 6, 2011, Stump contributed an original song, entitled “Saturday Night Again” to the album Download To Donate: Japan Tsunami Relief.

He released the first EP of his solo career, Truant Wave, digitally on February 22, 2011 through his own record label, Nervous Breakdance Media. The EP consisted of songs Stump “felt strongly about but didn’t have place for within the narrative of Soul Punk” and featured Alph-A-Bit, Om’mas Keith of Sa-Ra, David-Andrew “D.A.” Wallach of Chester French, and Driis.

In January 2010, Stump announced he was working on a self-written, performed and produced solo album. Later during that year he leaked the title of Soul Punk, which was eventually released on October 18, 2011.

After Fall Out Boy’s hiatus in late 2009, Stump released his debut solo album, Soul Punk, on October 18, 2011. It was preceded by the six-song EP titled Truant Wave on February 22, 2011. He toured in the US and Europe in support. He returned to Fall Out Boy in 2013 with the album Save Rock and Roll, and the EP PAX AM Days. In January 2015, the sixth album American Beauty/American Psycho was released, while in January 2018 their seventh album Mania was released, both debuting at No.1 on the Billboard 200.

In 2012, Stump was elected a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences’s Chicago Chapter Governors.

Stump married his longtime girlfriend, Elisa Yao, in 2012. They live in Chicago together.

Stump guest-starred as a lab technician on an episode of House in the episode “We Need the Eggs” (season 8, episode 17), which aired on April 16, 2012. He also made a cameo appearance in the 2008 film Sex Drive along with his Fall Out Boy bandmates.

On September 23, 2012, Stump contributed lead guitar and vocals for a performance of “Black Hole Sun” with Robert Glasper Experiment at the London iTunes Festival. He later contributed vocals to the track “I Stand Alone”, on the album Black Radio 2, which premiered September 23, 2013.

In a blog post in February 2012 after disappearing from the internet, Stump mentioned that he would halt performing. He stated that the relentless criticism he has received from Soul Punk and Fall Out Boy’s latest release, Folie à Deux, felt like “some big cosmic sign that says I should disappear” and that although he was prepared for criticism, he was not prepared to accept that people who ostensibly supported something he was involved in would turn into “haters” and attack his ambition and slimmed down image. He went on to write “It’s tempting to say I won’t ever play/tour/record again, but I think that’s probably just pent up poor-me emotional pessimism talking.”

He has also appeared in The Young Blood Chronicles, Fall Out Boy’s eleven-part music video story to support the band’s 2013 album Save Rock and Roll with bandmates.

April 12 of the same year, the band released a new album entitled, Save Rock and Roll, a new song, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)”, and dates for a new tour. The band played their first show in over three years on the night of February 4 in Chicago. Save Rock and Roll peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 154,000 copies in its first week, becoming the band’s 4th consecutive top 10 album. With Fall Out Boy, Stump toured heavily throughout 2013 and 2014 on the album, selling out arenas worldwide, with bands such as Paramore on the Monumentour. In October 2013, they released a new EP, PAX AM Days which they recorded in a two-day session with producer Ryan Adams.

Stump announced in September 2014 that he and his wife were expecting their first child, and on 13 October their son Declan was born. While being honored as the distinguished alumnus at 2016 graduation ceremony for Glenbrook South High School, from which he graduated in 2002, it was revealed Stump’s wife was pregnant with their second child. In an interview with Music Choice in 2018, Stump spoke of his children having access to his record collection and asking him to play Head Hunters, an album by Herbie Hancock.

In March 2014, Stump sang “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye as the first dance at his step-brother’s wedding.
