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.

On The Brightside
Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This man was quite ambitious
In a world that is so vicious
To us all
I said hi
As he replied
He said listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life
You're only as tall
As your heart will let you be
And you're only as small
As the world will make you seem
And when the going gets rough
And you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright side
You're roughly six feet tall
I met a man of twelve feet tall
He towered like a giant
In a world that was defiant
Of his height
I said hi
As he replied
He said listen to these words
That I have dreaded my whole life
You're only as tall
As your heart will let you be
And you're only as small
As the world will make you seem
And when the going gets rough
And you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright side
You're roughly six feet tall
I am a man of six feet tall
Just looking for some answers
In a world that answers none of them at all
I'll say hi
But not reply to the letters
That you write because
I found some peace of mind
Cause I'm only as tall
As my heart will let me be
And I'm only as small as the world will make me seem
And when the going gets rough
And I feel like I may fall
I'll look on the bright side
I'm roughly six feet tall.
The song "On The Brightside" by Never Shout Never centers around the idea that size doesn’t matter and that one’s true height is measured by the depth of their heart. The lyrics describe the encounters of the singer with two different men, one who is two feet tall and another who is twelve feet tall. Despite the obvious physical differences, both men impart the same wisdom to the singer that he will only be as tall as his heart allows him to be and only as small as the world perceives him to be. The men encourage the singer to look on the bright side and find positivity even in tough times.
The final verse sees the singer identifying himself as a man of average height, six feet tall, still searching for answers but finding peace of mind in the words of the previous two men. He internalizes their message and concludes that he too is only limited by what he allows himself to believe and that his true height is not determined by his physical appearance, but by his inner strength and character.

He advised me to heed to his life philosophy
You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
Your true height should be defined by your inner strength

I may greet, but I won't indulge in communication
Cause I'm only as tall
As my heart will let me be
And I'm only as small as the world will make me seem

And when the going gets rough
And I feel like I may fall
I'll look on the bright side
I'm roughly six feet tall
In times of stress or pain, I stay positive and resilient, reminding myself of my personal strength

TRADUÇÃO!!!
Eu fui na boca comprar pó
Eu saí escondido
Roubei 5 conto da carteira da minha vó
Cheguei lá
Fui avistar
O cria disse "Meu parceiro, pra tu eu vou explanar"
"Aqui na boca, o pó"
"Nós não vende ele por 5"
"Se tu quiser comprar o pó"
"Tem de 10, maconha é 5"
"Se tu não tem o cascalho"
"Bota pra rolo agora"
"Crackudo do caralho"
"Pode saindo fora"
Fui na outra boca comprar pó
Era um pouco longe
Mas eu tava louco pra dar logo um tecão
Cheguei lá
Fui avistar
O cria disse "Meu parceiro, pra tu eu vou explanar"
"Aqui na boca, o pó"
"Nós não vende ele por 5"
"Se tu quiser comprar o pó"
"Tem de 10, maconha é 5"
"Se tu não tem o cascalho"
"Bota pra rolo agora"
"Crackudo do caralho"
"Pode saindo fora"
Não consegui comprar meu pó
Fui pra casa fudido
Pensando logo em bafora minha loló
Cheguei lá
Fui avistar
Meu pai me disse "Seu merdinha, senta que eu vou te falar"
"Tu vai parar de usar pó"
"Se não você tá fudido"
"Se tu quiser comprar o pó"
"Tu vai morar com teus amigos"
"Crackudo desgraçado"
"Roubou o dinheiro da tua vó"
"Devolve essa merda"
"Ela quer comprar pó"
