Music career

Never Shout Never (2007–present)

Originally a solo project, Ingle began making music under the alias ''NeverShoutNever!'' in 2007 (age 16). His first exposure came through the internet, where he achieved success on MySpace before issuing the extended play, ''The Yippee EP'' on July 29, 2008. On July 30, 2008, he was featured on TRL, where he performed his single "Bigcitydreams." He toured with Hellogoodbye and Ace Enders in the fall of 2008. The spelling was later changed to 'Never Shout Never', and went on to form into a full band instead of a solo project exclusive to Ingle. Ingle revealed in December 2018 that after a small tour in Mexico and Brasil the following month, Never Shout Never would disband. However, he reached out to fans via an Instagram post two days later asking if he should keep making music under the name. Following the final show in Brasil he stated he was uncertain of the band's future. Ingle went on to release Unborn Spark, an acoustic LP, on June 12, 2020, after a 5-year break from releasing new music.

Eatmewhileimhot! (2008–2019)

In 2008 Ingle and fellow band members of Never Shout Never, Taylor McFee, Hayden Kaiser, and former member Caleb Denison, created an experimental band by the name "Eatmewhileimhot!", originally making music with post-hardcore influences, and on later releases experimenting by expanding their sound into metalcore, deathcore, and experimental metal.

Other projects (2011−present)

In 2011, Ingle released his debut solo EP called ''The Modern Racket''. He released a free solo EP in 2012 titled, ''The Light''. He started a side project called Gonzo in 2012 and released three EPs, ''Beet Pharm'', ''Da Funq'' and ''Esoteric''. In 2020, Ingle started a new psychedelic project called Dryymy.

In 2022, Ingle revealed on Twitter that he would begin a new screamo project named "Shogun" and that he would be working on an EP for the project. On March 8, 2022, Ingle announced on Twitter that he would be retiring from music and decided to not release "Shogun." However, he announced a new single for Shogun in August 2022. Ingle also started an EDM project called Shen Chow.

Personal life

At the age of 16, Christofer became a vegetarian. Ingle is also Christian. In 2019 at the age of 28, Christofer became a father to son, Lion Ezra Drew Ingle with former partner Analicia Safire.
