Drew showed the world that with the help of MySpace and great word of mouth, anyone with worthwhile work ethic and talent can start a monumental snowball effect towards success. After recording an EP by himself in his basement, NeverShoutNever! became an instant online success story, averaging over 40,000 online plays a day, and headlining shows throughout the Midwest. In early July, he was positioned in the top spot on the MySpace unsigned artist listing, and his first official release, the YIPPEE EP (July 29th), was followed up by a performance on TRL’s “on your radar” segment the very next day.
Drew started his climb to stardom in mild fashion. He learned to play the guitar from a friend early in his teen years. Then, his parents bought him a Macintosh computer for Christmas and with some sound-editing software, Drew was on his way to stardom.
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.
After experimenting with a couple of other names, Drew settled on Never Shout Never, the name of one of his songs, to represent him musically.
Ingle follows a strict vegan diet. His music career caused him to drop out of his high school, Joplin Senior High, before graduation.

Complex Heart
Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This roads so cold
And I'm alone
I've got my friends
But they don't know
I've lost my soul
I'm made of stone
Nothing is real
I lost my love
To the complex inside me
I was so mean to a girl
Who loved me unconditionally
Is it so wrong,
Is it so wrong
To be in love?
And oh,
Is it so wrong,
Is it so wrong
To be in love,
To be in love?
I don't know.
Face your heart to the door
You fooled them once
But now you're sure
This cold, dark road
Is all you know
You've got no soul
You're made of stone
I'm just so tired
Nothing is real
I lost my love
To the complex inside me
I was so mean to a girl
Who loved me unconditionally
Is it so wrong,
Is it so wrong
To be in love?
And oh,
Is it so wrong,
Is it so wrong
To be in love,
To be in love?
I don't know
What to do anymore
The complex heart
Calls the shots
I'm just a part
In it's game
The complex heart
Makes me so tired
Makes this too real
I lost my love
To the complex
Inside me
I was so mean
To a girl who
Loved me unconditionally
Is it so wrong,
Is it so wrong
To be in love?
And oh,
Is it so wrong,
Is it so wrong,
To be in love,
To be in love?
I don't know.
