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.

Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I think too much but frankly,
I just wanna get out this town and find a quiet place to be.
A place where dreams can come true.
A land made just for me and you.
Let's just get out this town and find a quiet place to be.
It don't have to be too far away,
It don't have to be a place to stay
Just a simplistic trance-like getaway.
Honey, let's just go
And let go
Of what we know.
I don't want to wake up
From this dream that I have dreamt up.
I just wanna get out this town
And find a quiet place to be.
A place where dreams can come true.
A land made just for me and you.
Let's just get out this town and find a quiet place to be
It don't have to be too far away,
Just a simplistic trance-like getaway.
It don't have to be a place to stay
Just a simplistic trance-like getaway.
Honey, let's just go
And let go
Of what we know. (Let go)
Honey doo, I wouldn't trade you for the world.
You are my dream that has come true.
You give me opportunity to recreate reality.
Into a place where we are free to dance sing internally.
You are the missing half of me.
These moments turn to hours, hours turn into days,
Turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into years,
Turn into life times with you dear.
It don't have to be too far away,
Just a simplistic trance-like getaway.
It don't have to be a place to stay
Just a simplistic trance-like getaway.
Honey, let's just go
And let go
Of what we know.

Line by Line Meaning
I been thinking lately,
I have been pondering lately
That I think too much but frankly,
I feel like I overthink, but to be honest,
I just wanna get out this town and find a quiet place to be.
I just want to leave this town and find a peaceful place to exist
A place where dreams can come true.
A location where our aspirations can become reality
A land made just for me and you.
A territory designed specifically for us
Let's just get out this town and find a quiet place to be.
Let's depart this town and locate a tranquil location
It don't have to be too far away,
It doesn't need to be a great distance
Just a simplistic trance-like getaway.
Just a calming and easy retreat
It don't have to be a place to stay
It doesn't have to be a long term residence
Honey, let's just go
Darling, we should just leave
And let go
And release ourselves
Of what we know.
Of our current reality
I don't want to wake up
I do not desire to emerge from
From this dream that I have dreamt up.
This dream that I have envisioned
You give me opportunity to recreate reality.
You present me with the chance to reconstruct our world
Into a place where we are free to dance sing internally.
Into a destination where we can move and sing without restraint
You are the missing half of me.
You make me whole
These moments turn to hours, hours turn into days,
These fleeting instants transform into extended periods, and those into entire days
Turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into years,
And then to weeks, months, years,
Turn into life times with you dear.
Culminating in a lifetime with you, my love
