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.

Wild Child
Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You tore my little blue heart in two.
I don't know what I gotta say,
Or what I gotta do, to get through you.
I want you you want me, you know that you can have me.
I want you you want me, but baby can I have you?
I want you I need you, so baby give me a roll.
Wild child (uh lala lala)
Wild child (uh lala lala)
You can't take my wild girl she's on fire, fire.
Watch out, watch out.
I want you you want me, you know that you can have me.
I want you you want me, but baby can I have you?
I need you I need you, so baby give me it all.
I need you, wild child!
Wild child (uh lala lala)
Wild child (uh lala lala)
I want you, you know want me too, come on baby follow through.
I need a wild girl, I need a wild girl
You need a wild man. I'll be that wild man
I need a wild child.
The lyrics to Never Shout Never's song Wild Child speak of the passionate feelings that emerge when a person meets someone they're attracted to. The singer sings about how he fell for someone at first sight, and how they've torn his heart in two. He's unsure of how to approach this person, and what he needs to do to get her to notice him.
The chorus of the song repeatedly states, "I want you, you want me," emphasizing the mutual attraction between the two individuals. The phrase "wild child" is used to describe the object of the singer's affections, creating an image of a free-spirited, untamed person who is on fire. The singer can't resist this person's allure, but he's also aware that she's a force to be reckoned with, hence the lyrics "You can't take my wild girl she's on fire, fire. Watch out, watch out."
The song captures the excitement and intensity of early infatuation when you can't get enough of the person you're into. The singer is willing to do anything to capture the attention of his wild child, and the song's energetic, catchy chorus makes it a fun and infectious track.

Fond memories listening to the young Christofer Drew and his uke. Growing up with his voice in my headphones. But unlike all these nostalgic fucks, when he grew up, so did I. I dig his new shit and I'm glad throughout my time growing up, I got to grow up with him. I feel like we're vibing on the same wavelengths.
