Patrick Martin Stumph (born on April 27, 1984 in Glenview, Illinois) is
a Chicago musician and producer. Most notably he is the lead singer and
guitarist of the band Fall Out Boy.
He changed the spelling of his name to 'Stump' when he joined Fall Out Boy to avoid confusion over its pronunciation.
When he joined Fall Out Boy, Stump had neither sung for a band before nor had singing lessons. He formed the band with Joe Trohman and Pete Wentz, both of whom were active in Chicago's hardcore scene. The son of a folk singer, Stump was originally a drummer for a few local suburban Chicago bands, one of which being a band named Public Display of Infection, which he was in in his early teen age years. Upon the formation of Fall Out Boy, though, he took up not only lead vocal duties but was also forced to learn guitar when an early guitar player quit days before their first tour.
As producer he has worked with The Hush Sound and Gym Class Heroes.
He produced the Cobra Starship album ¡Viva La Cobra!.
