Ingle began making music as NeverShoutNever! in September 2007. His first exposure came through the internet, where he achieved success on MySpace before issuing The Yippee EP on July 29, 2008. On July 30, 2008, he was featured on TRL, where he performed his single "Bigcitydreams." He toured with Hellogoodbye and Ace Enders in the fall of 2008.
As of November 17, 2008, the official spelling of Ingle's alias became NeverShoutNever! It had previously been listed as Never Shout Never on iTunes and his management company's site. An official statement regarding the reason behind the spelling change has not been made available. In an interview, Ingle revealed that there is no longer an exclamation point after his name and that he will spell NeverShoutNever as one word when he is feeling happy, but three words when he isn't. Warner Bros. Records is spelling his name as "Never Shout Never" for the upcoming release.
Never Shout Never started touring with The Scene Aesthetic, The Honorary Title, and The Bigger Lights in late February 2009 and then toured with bands such as Forever the Sickest Kids, The Cab, and Mercy Mercedes, among others in spring 2009 as part of The Bamboozle Roadshow 2009. He played at both The Bamboozle Left 2009 and The Bamboozle 2009.
The Summer EP was released on June 23, 2009. The first single off the EP, titled "Happy," was released on iTunes on March 3, 2009.
It was announced on May 29, 2009, that Ingle had signed to Warner Bros. Records, ending a major-label bidding war. As part of the deal, Ingle will run and make releases on his own imprint label, Loveway Records.
The debut mini-album from Never Shout Never, What Is Love?, was produced by Butch Walker.
In October 2010, Christofer announced in an interview with Phoenix New Times that he would like to drop the name 'Never Shout Never' and become 'Christofer Drew and the Shout' because he is "sick of this band and the negative connotations with the band." He is also planning to switch from acoustic to more "feel-good rock-n-roll" music.

In November of 2010, Never Shout Never and The Maine did a concert tour, where they had fans gather can foods to help those in need. As a 'Thank you' gift, Never Shout Never and The Maine released a 'Split' Ep titled 'Split - Ep.' As of December 21, 2010, the 'Split - Ep' has been available for free on the Never Shout Never website and continues, to be free, today.

Ingle follows a strict vegan diet. His music career caused him to drop out of his high school, Joplin Senior High, before graduation.

Christofer Drew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the stars
See how they're shining
Vacant of color
Beautifully blinding
I see this girl; she doesn't see me
I love the world; it doesn't love me
Yet I still see the light even on the darkest of nights
Oh... Ah... Ah... Oh...

I see the moon reflecting the sunlight
Vacant of color
I beg her stop crying
I see this girl; she doesn't see me
I love the world; it doesn't love me

Yet I still see the light even on the darkest of nights
Oh.Ah... Ah... Oh...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Christofer Drew's song The Light suggest a person's struggle with their perception of the world and themselves. The lyrics open with the observation of stars that are shining and beautifully blinding; this may reflect the person's awe of the world's beauty. However, the following lines reveal how they may feel disconnected from the world as they describe a girl who doesn't see them, and their love for the world that isn't reciprocated. The mention of the light in the chorus may symbolize hope or positivity that persists even during the darkest moments. The reference to the moon that reflects sunlight and begs her to stop crying may suggest that the person is asking for compassion and understanding from the world.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and alienation, but also emphasizes the importance of holding onto hope and positivity. Despite the person feeling disconnected from the world, they still see the light and the beauty in it. Perhaps the meaning behind this song is that even though there can be darkness in the world, it's important not to give up hope or lose sight of the light.
