Patrick Martin Stumph (born April 27, 1984), known professionally as Patrick Vaughn Stump,[9][10] is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. He is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Fall Out Boy, originally from Wilmette, Illinois.[7]

His solo work has been described as "funky and R&B infused",[11] while Billboard noted him as "one of the best voices in pop-punk".[1] 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 (2007), followed by and including Save Rock and Roll (2013), American Beauty/American Psycho (2015), and Mania (2018).[12] With Pete Wentz, Stump founded the record label DCD2 Records in 2005, through which he has signed and worked in production for musical acts including Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, and Panic! at the Disco.[13]

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 extended play, Truant Wave (2011).[14] He toured in the US and Europe in support. The band returned from hiatus in February 2013 with the album Save Rock and Roll, and the EP PAX AM Days (2013).[12]
