Never ShoutNever is Joplin, Missouri native, Christofer Drew. 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. 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. Drew has been touring this summer in support of the EP with Danger Radio, Farewell, Red Car Wire, Jamestown Story, Owl City, & Handshakes and Highfives throughout the US, as well as regional dates in support of Meg & Dia.
