Patrick Stump (born Patrick Martin Stumph on April 27, 1984 in Glenview, Illinois) is an American musician, composer and producer. Most notably, he is the primary composer, lead singer, guitarist, and occasional pianist of Fall Out Boy, an American band from Chicago, Illinois. He also has begun producing bands as of late such as Gym Class Heroes, among others.
Early lifePatrick Martin Stump was born on April 27, 1984 to Dave Stump, a North American folk singer, and Patricia Stump in Glenview, Cook County, Illinois
. He has an older brother, Kevin, who is an accomplished violinist.Patrick is also has an obsession with the pop singer Prince, and is a big fan of David Bowie.
CareerIn 2000, Stump co-founded Fall Out Boy with guitarist Joe Trohman and bassist Pete Wentz.
Stump first joined Fall Out Boy as a drummer, but his singing talent was soon discovered even though he had no prior experience as a vocalist. Originally, Stump was only the band's vocalist, but after the departure of two members following the release of ''Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend, he also began playing guitar for the band. At this point, present day drummer Andy Hurley was also brought into the band. Stump also writes the guitar parts for himself and fellow guitarist Joe Trohman.
The band's first full-length album ''Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend was released in 2003 on Uprising Records, although they shortly left the label to sign to Fueled By Ramen. They released Take This To Your Grave in May, 2003, their second full-length album which helped them earn a fanbase and some minor success.
In 2003, Stump and his bandmates signed 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. This was followed with their second studio album, From Under The Cork Tree.
In Fall Out Boy, Stump writes the majority of the music for the band, while bassist Pete Wentz writes the majority of the lyrics. Guitarist Joe Trohman said of Patrick, "I guess Patrick is some kind of musical genius -- he's a total mad scientist."
Patrick suffers from a form of synesthesia known as grapheme-color synesthesia. It is a neurologically-based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway, which basically just means that his senses crossed. This allows Patrick to associate colors with letters and numbers from one to ten. He associates the letter "F" with the color green and the letter "S" with the color red, for example.
ProducerAs a producer, Stump has worked with The Hush Sound on Like Vines and Gym Class Heroes on As Cruel As School Children. He has also produced Cobra Starship's record ˇViva La Cobra!. He's also produced a track titled "Little Weapon" on Lupe Fiasco's record The Cool, and is said to be currently working in production with The Cab, Tyga, and Gym Class Heroes.
In addition to producing albums, Stump has also remixed various tracks for soundtracks or special releases. These include a "Queen Of Apology" remix for The Sounds on the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack, "Sugar We're Goin Down" remix on the From Under the Cork Tree special edition release for Fall Out Boy, and "Pace Yourself" for The Higher on their album On Fire.

Stump and Wentz have both added guest vocals to Damnation A.D.'s song "If You Could Remember" and Timbaland's "One & Only". Stump also makes an appearance on New Found Glory's From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II, in the song "The King Of Wishful Thinking" from Pretty Woman, and is featured notably on the Cobra Starship song "Guilty Pleasure", as well as singing back-up on several others, of their album ˇViva La Cobra!

He also appears on The Cab's new single "One Of Those Nights" along with Brendon Urie of Panic At The Disco, and lastly "Don't Regret in now" by Tyga.
Other ProjectsIn January 2008, Stump was also a guest star on the television crime-drama Law & Order on the season 18 2-hour premiere as Marty Dressler, a lowly employee of an electrical company, who is suspected of the kidnapping of the wife and daughter of an executive. The episode, titled "Darkness", aired on January 2, 2008 on NBC. He was not paid for his appearance.
Recently, he has announced in his website that he's been working on a film called "The Moustachette", him creating and producing it, and acting in it. He mentioned in June that his film is now in it's color correction stage, however all that he revealed some subtle insight about what the movie may be about. "It's a satire about the arts," Stump says. "It pulls on a lot of my experiences as a musician, especially in this Perez Hilton blog culture, where there are so many more people who are more interested in the stuff you get out of arts—the girls you can pick up at parties and the money you get, that type of stuff—than they are about the actual arts."
