At first glance, Never Shout Never's, Christofer Drew, looks like just another emo/punk musician with his numerous tattoos and thrift shop discovered outfits. From this alone you would expect to hear music to the likes of Fall Out Boy or even Simple Plan, but with Never Shout Never, fans find a guy with touching and soulful lyrics who is honestly in the industry because he loves it.
Christofer gained fame and fans in the same way many of today's artists are, MySpace & YouTube. Every few weeks he would record himself singing a new song and post it for his growing fan base to listen to and give feedback. In 2008, he released his first EP, stared on MTV's TRL, and toured with Hellogoodbye & Ace Enders.
In early 2009, Never Shout Never was gaining rapid fame and success, appearing with such bands as The Cab, Forever the Sickest Kids, and Mercy Mercedes as well as others as part of the 2009 Bamboozle Roadshow. It was also in 2009 that his next EP was released. Warner Bros. Records signed Never Shout Never in May of 2009 with the deal that Chris would be able to release his music on his own imprint label.
In 2010 Never Shout Never released the album What Is Love? The first single, Can't Stand It, is currently blowing up all over the music scene.

I seriously hope you guys enjoy his music as much as I do. If you want to catch Never Shout Never live, pick up your tickets to the 2010 Warped Tour where Chris will be performing along with the likes of Hey Monday, We the Kings, among others.
