Who is Pete Wentz

Pete Wentz, born Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III, is a Chicago musician and businessman, best known as the frontman, bassist, lyricist, and backup vocalist for the band Fall Out Boy, with Patrick Stump (composer, lead vocalist, rhythm guitar), Joe Trohman (lead guitar), and Andy Hurley (drums).

Pete was born June 5, 1979. He was a star soccer player in school and attended DePaul University, where he studied political science, but dropped out one semester before graduation in order to focus more on his music.

He started in a hardcore band called Arma Angelus, but he and friend Joe Trohman soon started talking about forming a band of their own. One day Joe met a teenager named Patrick Stump in a local Borders and convinced him to meet Pete. Soon after, Pete and Joe realized they'd found their lead singer. Andy Hurley joined on drums later.

In addition to his growing success with Fall Out Boy, Pete is also an entrepreneur, with his own record label, clothing line, nightclub, and more. Recently, he's become frequent tabloid fodder, thanks to his relationship with Ashlee Simpson. The two were married May 17, 2008, and their son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, was born November 20, 2008.
